Reformat An Sdhc Card

Some digital camera models use SDHC cards to store photos and videos.


Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) cards are small memory storage cards used in portable devices such as digital cameras, netbooks and handheld gaming consoles. They can range from four to 32 gigabytes in size and can be read on a computer using an SDHC-compatible memory card reader or a compatible digital camera with a USB connection. Reformatting the card is useful if you want to wipe all data from its memory.


Instructions


Using a Memory Card Reader or Digital Camera Connected to the Computer


1. Insert the SDHC card into the memory card reader or a digital camera that has been connected to the computer and turned on.


2. Open the list of connected disk volumes by double-clicking the "Computer" icon on the desktop. A list of all available volumes will display. If the volumes are sorted by type, the SDHC volume will appear at the end of the list under the "Devices with Removable Storage" subheading.


3. Right-click on the SDHC volume and select "Format..." from the contextual menu. A formatting prompt will appear.


4. Type in a new name for the SDHC volume in the "Volume label" box, or leave it as it was.


5. Click the "Start" button and wait for the formatting progress window to finish.


Using the Digital Camera Reformat Tool


6. Insert the SDHC card into your digital camera and turn the camera on.


7. Browse to the camera's user options. Every camera has a different user interface, but a menu button or touch-screen button is typical on digital camera models.


8. Select "format memory" or "format memory card" in the user options menu. The camera will wipe the SDHC card.
