Write-protecting a Memory Stick™
Memory Sticks™
are designed with an erasure prevention switch to protect valuable data from accidental
erasure or overwriting.
Move the tab to the right or left* to set or release write-protection. When the erasure prevention switch is
off, data can be saved on the Memory Stick™. When the erasure prevention switch is on, data can be read
from but not saved on the Memory Stick™.
* The 128 MB Memory Stick™ has a vertical lock.
Inserting a Memory Stick™
To insert a Memory Stick™, proceed as follows:
Once you have stored your data from your digital device, insert the
Memory Stick™ into the Memory Stick™ slot in the front panel.
The Memory Stick™ is automatically detected by your system and
appears in the
My Computer
window with its own drive.
✍
Always hold the Memory Stick™ with the arrow pointing in the correct direction when you
insert it into the slot. To avoid damaging the computer or the Memory Stick™, do not force
the Memory Stick™ into the slot if it does not insert smoothly.
