How to Get a Computer to Recognize a Sony Memory Stick
Sony memory sticks are most often used in Sony digital cameras. These memory sticks are slightly longer than the standard SD card, so only Sony devices and special memory readers are capable of reading the cards. However, you may find, initially, that your computer has trouble reading the memory stick. You can overcome this obstacle within only a few moments of your time, allowing you to view the contents of the Sony memory stick on your computer.
