And do I do that in the disk management tool as well? (I know how to do the factory re-set.) Thanks.
Windows will only format the partition it can see, only the fat partition will be formated. The system partition is hidden and will be unaffected.

We are doing the format in the hope that if your sony has some bad memory sectors then the format will mark them as bad in the FAT.

luck
