Once upon a time...

I had an mp3 player whose memory I somehow wiped out. I now have a digital camera and Im scared I'll do the same thing to it. Is it ok to delete images via the 'removable disk E' window once the camera is plugged into the PC or is it better to do it directly on the camera? Its a Konica 'digital revio KD-100', and the manual is surprisingly useless. Also, the software that came with it doesn't ever install. I think Ive installed it and then it asks if I want to restart my computer. I click 'yes' and when it reboots, the software does nothing. I have to run it again and again it asks me to install it and restart my computer. Whats the deal here? Thank you.

My drive E is user friendly, a Fuji removable 'smartmedia' in camera. If Konica has internal memory only, or your not sure, may be best to only delete with camera till you find out. Smartmedia is like a disk, you can format it, delete single files or even drag files onto it when E drive folder is open. Any case, always double check that your pics have transferred to hard drive before you delete anything.

Thanks Xyzzy. Could I have more views on this? Does anyone have the same camera? And how did I ruin my mp3 player? All I did was click 'ok' when a pop-up window asked if I wanted to retrieve space after one of the mp3 files got corrupted. Can I still save the memory?

I don't know anything about your camera but your mp3 player is just a hard disk with a sound card and a small microprocessor to do the maths. Like all hard drives you can inadvertently wipe the contents but that doesn't prevent you from storing data to it in the future. Sorry to be pedantic but strickly speaking "memory" is the RAM that your PC or mp3 player uses to do it's calculations, I think you mean "hard disk space". Can you still "see" your mp3 player's hard drive? It is probably mapped as E: or F: If so, can you transfer mp3 onto it? Maybe it needs formatting, what does the manual suggest?
