Formatting devices

You may be required to format some devices before you can synchronize files to them. In most cases, Windows Media Player automatically prompts you to format the device when necessary. However, you can also format your device manually at any time.

 Caution

• Formatting erases all data on the device.

Note

• It may not be possible to use the Player to format every device. For more information, see the documentation that came with your device.
