Re: Problems with MiniSD card...

Formatting the card is no problem.... it's trying to partition the card that's a problem.

Windows Disk Manager has all partitioning functions grey'd out.

The only method of partitioning a removable media card that I found involves formatting as a bootable disk, then altering cmos settings to boot from the card (if your particular mobo will allow it), then using fdisk to partition it (figuring that windows will now see the card as a main drive), then formatting the 2 partitions as normal. Of course this comes with the disclaimer that if not careful, you may accidentally re-partition your actual hard drive. Which I've had happen to a few times before, because windows likes to change drive letters around to make larger drives be the C: drive. Lost more MP3 than most people will ever see, that way, hehehehehe....

Seems to that there's got to be an easier way...
