About this download

If your MicroVault does not operate correctly, try recovering a flawless operation by re-formatting your Microvault with Sony's easy to use formatting software

Note:
The re-formatting process will erase any data stored on the MicroVault. Before starting the re-formatting process, make sure to backup any data you would like to keep.

Note for Windows Vista / Windows 7 users:

When formatting your microvault with Windows Vista / Windows 7,

1. Make sure to close all currently running programs on your computer before formatting your MicroVault
2. Execute the format software and follow the instructions.
3. If part of a file remains on your Microvault, total capacity is "0 byte", or if format does not seem to proceed completely, please repeat the formatting process 2 or 3 times.
   Otherwise, please try formatting with another operating System than Windows Vista / Windows 7.
