Low Level Format Program

I contacted Kingston Technologies this morning. Because it was early (7:00 am EST) I got a bloke from London.

He suggested I wait until the office in the US was open to pursue my problem which is a 2GB storage card that is always corrupting.

Also I asked if he could recommend a good formatting tool and he suggested this website to download a Low Level Formatting program.

I downloaded and tried it. It seemed to work fine but you have to be VERY careful not to format the wrong drive. After using the program Windows XP will find the drive and ask if you want to Format it. I said yes and now the storage card seems OK.

I think there are other free formatting programs out there but I haven't been able to locate them.
