  3. Confirm the data loss warning message. When the formatting process is complete, press OK.
  4. Restore only the data that is compatible with your phone (JPEG or MP4 in the photos folder or MP3 in the music folder).
  5. Right-click the memory card, select Eject, and wait until it is safe to remove the card.
