I honestly have never reformatted them at all.=3D3D20 Now the other question is, I'm aware that reformatting the card wipes =3D =3D3D everything off of it, so where would I find the instruction manual to =3D load =3D3D back on it. I know the CD which came with the transfer software has the = =3D =3D3D manual, but it's no longer up-to-date.=3D3D20 I do of course know that the manual can be found in the Book Port =3D Transfer =3D3D submenu of the programs menu, and since it opens in Internet Explorer I = =3D =3D3D assume it is an html file, but where would I browse to actually find it = =3D =3D3D and send to the book port?
