Adding files to CF or SD Memory Cards

There are a few ways to get files such as music files to CF and SD Memory cards.

1) Use a device that connects to the USB port of your PC: You can purchase a device that connects to the USB port of your PC and accepts the SD or CF card into a slot in the device. Your PC should recognize the CF or SD card as a drive on your computer. You may be required to install drivers for the device once you connect it to the PC before the PC will recognize it as a drive.

2) Use a device that connects to the PC card reader of your PC or Notebook: You can purchase an adapter that plugs into the PC Card slot of most Notebook computers. This adapter will allow you to plug in a CF or SD card. Your PC should recognize the CF or SD card as a drive on your computer. You may be required to install drivers for the device once you connect it to the PC before the PC will recognize it as a drive.

3) Transfer files between the CF and SD cards using File Manager's copy and paste features: Install the File Manager application found in the Downloads section. Once installed, you'll find the File Manager icon on the Applications tab of the Zaurus. Click on the Tree tab and then click on the "+" sign next to the "mnt" entry. Within this directory, you'll see "cf" and "card". These entries correspond to the CF Memory card and SD Memory card respectively. Highlight the memory card you want to copy a file or files from. Then click on the List tab. Highlight the file or files you want to paste to the other memory card and click on the Copy icon or click on the File menu and select Copy. Go back to the Tree tab and highlight the memory card you want to paste to. Then select the List tab and select the Paste icon or select the File menu and then select paste.

When copying and pasting large files or a large number of files, you may wait a very long time for the copy and paste processes to complete. It is best to avoid copying a large number of large files at the same time. Try copying and pasting only a few files at a time.
