Supported Products

NOTE:This feature only works with SD / CF cards / StoreJet External Hard Drives.

  1. Click “Format”.

  2. Select the drive letter of memory card you want to format.

  3. Select the device type that matches the card you are formatting.

  4. (Optional) Enter a name for the device, which will be used when you connect it to a computer for data transfer.

  5. By default, RecoveRx will perform a “Quick Format” on your device. However, if you want to make sure your old data are thoroughly erased to prevent unwanted access by potential third parties, we recommend using the “Complete Format” option. “Complete Format” performs a slow, secure erase of your entire memory card. “Complete Format” is the cleanest and most secure method of erasing your memory card, but it also takes most time.

  6. Click “Format” to begin the format process. Remember that formatting will delete all data on the card.

  7. Click “OK” if you understand that all data will be erased and are sure you want to format your device.

  8. Wait for the format procedure to complete. The time required to format your memory card will vary depending on the card capacity and format options chosen.

    Please be patient and wait for the process to complete. NEVER disconnect a memory card during the format process.

  9. When the formatting is complete, a “Success” window will appear. Click “OK”.
