Try this!
hello. If you are trying to format your sd card with window xp or windows XX. you will never use your sd card in any camera, pocket pc, palm again.
If your computer can not format your sd card, there are 2 possibilities:
1. Your memory chip is damaged
2. You can try to creat boot image using XDA tool and put it in to your XDA. Finally create a boot image. Now. Romve the sd card and plug it in the XDA again, your XDA will ask you to format it. IF not, your memory chip is damaged. Good luck!
i had issues with not being able to format my sd card under winXP

Thanks but that's not what I means.
In my case, when I format the SD card (quick format) by the laptop, it works with only the laptop. When I format the SD card (quick format) by my pocket PC, it works with only my pocket PC.
The SD card works pretty well separately on each device.
The 2 devices cannot use the same fomarted SD card.
That's the problem.

Hey do any of you know how to format an SD Card? I flashed my old rom onto my 2gb sd card and really dont want to let this go to waste. is there a way to reformat this card so that my MDA will recognize it? Thanks in advance for any response.
you can use your pc to reformat a card [if you have a card reader]
or you can use your ppc to do it. resco has a format card thingie. or you can get another app [I use Storage Tools from Softwinter]
Got it. Thanks.
I just got myself a 2gb SD card for my JAMin. I want to copy wikipedia file which is 1gb in size, when I drag the file into my storage from my PC it seems to take forever and not actually copy??
also what is the most efficient format method for 2gb sd card? fat 16 32k?
Yes copying via Pocket PC and computer will take long I would advise investing in a USB 2.0 card reader. (Fat32.)
Or you can use your Prophet as a card reader by using CardExport II or a free app called WM5torage 1.53.CAB attached below.
Hi, I want to format my 1GB microSD card i've looked at the installed software on the TyTn but I can't find anything any suggestions.
Thanks
suggestion
Put it in a pc and format
There are programs that can format your storage card like Resco Explorer or SKTools. Or like sandrobber said, use your pc if you have a card reader.
Hi Friends!
I've faced a very strange problem... One day my MiniSD card is crashed... All information is lost and device doesn’t see the card inside.
Utility to format the SD card isn't presented in standard programs. Format can be done using Resco explorer. I've installed it in internal memory and tried to format my SD... unsuccessful. I've formatted SD in PC using adaptor.
Now device can recognize the SD card but I still can't format it.
I have installed all software today but afraid that the SD will crash tomorrow…
Is it available, generally, to format SD card in HTC HD? May I need to but a new one?

Shalom, just to boost your question: No, I don't think you can format an SD card in htc (hit the cell ). I had been looking for the same before and didn't find it. But hang on, there might be people who know it better.
There should be a clear / format sd storage option in your WM settings. using windows to format it is just as good
