Exploring Your Computer's Features Using an SD™ card 131 When inserting memory media, do not touch the metal contacts. You could expose the storage area to static electricity, which can destroy data. Formatting an SD card To format an SD card, use the Toshiba SD Memory Card Format utility. Click on Start, All Programs, Toshiba, Utilities, and then click on SD Memory Card Format. NOTE MultiMediaCards™ (MMC™s) are not supported by this product. Stopping or removing the SD card after formatting If you have formatted the SD card drive with the Windows® operating system format (see "Formatting an SD card" on page 131), you may be unable to stop or eject your card. If this occurs, try restarting the computer. Using Standby or Hibernate while using the SD card It is recommended that you do not select Standby or Hibernation mode while an SD card is in use. If you do so, your system may not enter Standby or Hibernation mode, some tasks may become unresponsive, and the operating system may not shut down properly. If this occurs, reset your computer by sliding the power button to the right and holding it for at least four seconds. Removing an SD card 1 Prepare the card for removal by clicking the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system tray and then selecting the card or device you want to remove. If the system is unable to prepare the card for safe removal, a message will tell you to try again later. If the card can be removed now, the system displays Safe to Remove Hardware. 2 Gently press the card inward to release it. The card pops out slightly.
