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.
use pocket mechanics to see what the xda format the sd card to fat32 fat16 or ???
see what the laptop format the card to fat32 or fat16 or NTFS
the xda cant real ntfs at all
and some sd readers have problems with fat16 or 32 i forget

..but it's still in trouble
i have a wizard and the mini sd isn't being recognized by the mda...what should i do?
Try formatting it either in your device or on a PC.
To format on your device:
Start -> settings -> system -> format
Take it out and put it in again a few times checking if it gets recognised each time. Sometimes mine takes a few tries to get it read. Seen the same thing in a few posts here also.
my wiz doesn't have a format option in `system' !
it has `clear storage ' which would presumably format the built in memory
It has `memory' but there is no option for formatting it
Sounds like your memory card is corrupt. If you have a card reader and an adapter to convert the minisd to proper sized SD use your PC to format the card
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
I formatted the SD Card on my HTC HD2 to 2 partitions FAT32 and the other for Windows phone 7. So I have a MagLdr to allow dual boot between Windows phone 7 and Android. When I boot into Android (SD/Magldr) it does not detect SD Card. All applications which use SD Card dont work as they complain "Insert SD Card". I tried to reformat the card using Easeus (also tried it with windows) but no luck.
The mount SD Card option on my phone is greyed out so could not do that either.
This is a 16 GB Sandisk micro SD Card. I tried various Android version but no luck. Any idea how to fix this problem . Please help.
Format it while its in your phone and dont partition it
and recheck if the application work
The Format option is also grayed out as it does not detect SD Card. I wonder if this is a problem as I am loading Android from SD Card (using Magldr).
I have accidentally formatted my SD card in ext3 file system mode and now my phone cannot read it.Even when i connect the phone to the computer in usb memory card mode...the sd card is not shown in the computer. So i am not being able to format it again.Please tell me how to reformat it back to fat32 ....
Use EASEUS Partition Master, it will read your SD card in EXT3 format and will allow you to manage / format it!
open disk management (start->run->diskmgmt.msc) and erase your ext3 partition (doable in windows)
If you have any trouble doing this while the card is in your phone, you can also remove it and use an USB Card Reader.
But as said before, you just have to change the unit type to get it working again.
Good luck.

You can use a USB Card reader and this software: "hp disk storage format tool".
