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.

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!

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.

see what the laptop format the card to fat32 or fat16 or NTFS
the xda cant real ntfs at all

My Jam can't read my card!!
The information can be found, and the files/folders inside of the SD can be found..But it doesn't show up..I need to go to the finding thing and then it comes up as a list..Not a folder saying "SD"..
Anybody have a clue why it does that?
I've seen this problem before with a Ridata 1GB SD card. The data and structure on the card become corrupt. I've been able to fix this by backing up whatever is on the card (whatever is salvagable) and then doing a reformat of the card. If it won't let you reformat on the ppc, try doing it first on a regular pc with an SD card slot.

Hmm..Good idea, thanks.

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.
Hey guys,
I bought a mini sdhc 4gb store card to replace my onde one.
Is possible migrate all the software and data I have on my 1gb storage to this new one without having to hardreset and reinstalll/ uninstall all the programs ?
When I change my SD card, my phone freeezes because of some interaction with the currently 1g SD card but when I boot using Safe mode I see that the 4 gb card is fully functional.
Do you know if is this possible?
Thanks in advance!
i've don it many times

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
