About Formatting “Memory Stick”s
When “Memory Stick”s are shipped from the factory, they are already
formatted to a special standard format. When you format “Memory Stick”s, we
recommend formatting them on the device you are using so that they are
compatible when used on “Memory Stick”-compatible device.
Cautions When Formatting “Memory Stick”s on a Personal Computer
Pay attention to the following points when formatting “Memory Stick”s on the
personal computer, for example, that you are using.
• Operation of “Memory Stick”s formatted on Windows machines is not
guaranteed on “Memory Stick”-compatible device. To use a “Memory Stick”
that has been formatted on a Windows machine, the “Memory Stick” must be
reformatted on “Memory Stick”-compatible device. Note, that, in this case all
data stored on the “Memory Stick” will be lost.
• “Memory Stick” formatted on a Macintosh sometimes cannot be used on
“Memory Stick”-compatible device. Do not format “Memory Stick” on the
Macintosh.
