Format mini-SD card

[Guest Loukas]

Hello,

I have a 1gb mini-sd card that I would like to format, but don't know how:

I had, up to recently, a Pocket PC (MDA Vario). I transfered various documents and many mp3's on the mini-SD card.

I just got an SP5. For some weird reason, I cannot see any of the above documents on my mini-sd card. I would therefore like to erase the memory, hopefully by formating, so that I can put the stuff on it again.

What can I use to do so?

Thanks,

Loukas

Binarys Task Manager will format the storage card.

Alternatively use a card reader :)

I've never actually tried using Task Manager for this.

Do you have a card reader ? You could use that to copy the contents across to the PC and then try formatting the card in My Computer.

Hey all,

Thank you for your help!

I finally found a mate with a card reader and he was able to help me format the card! :-)

Thanks once again,
