"Memory Stick"
"Memory Stick"
What should I do if I cannot use "Memory Stick" that was formatted on a VAIO computer
on other devices?
You may need to reformat your "Memory Stick".
Formatting "Memory Stick" erases all data, including music data previously saved on it. Before you reformat "Memory Stick",
back up important data and confirm that "Memory Stick" does not contain files you want to keep.
1 Copy the data from "Memory Stick" onto your built-in storage device to save data or images.
2 Format "Memory Stick" by following the steps in Formatting "Memory Stick" (page 59).
Can I copy images from a digital camera using "Memory Stick"?
Yes, and you can view video clips that you have recorded with digital cameras that are compatible with "Memory Stick".
Why can't I write data to "Memory Stick"?
❑ Some versions of "Memory Stick" are equipped with an erasure prevention switch to protect data from unintentional
erasure or overwriting. Make sure the erasure prevention switch is off.
❑ If you have disabled the "Memory Stick Duo" slot in the BIOS setup screen, you cannot use "Memory Stick" in the slot. To
enable the slot, follow the steps in Disabling Built-in Devices (page 133).
