hello all i am a noob so bear with me. my sd card seems to be corrupt and loses my pics etc. ive done a search and nowhere does it say how to format the card. i cant do it on the phone and i do not have an adapter for the mini sd. some have mentioned installing programs to the phone, that get the job done right? please advise!

if you have vista connect your via usb and you will be able to see the sd card and format it... if you don't then there are a lot of programs that will do that for you within the phone itself... to name one is resco explorer...

I do have window vista and when i plug it and search phone contents then go to memory card it does not give me an option to do that. i looked at every possible way!

You should be able to right click on the sd card and format or delete the whole files in sd card.

memmaid 2.2 will do this also... not free, but can be done in the demo version. This is how i formatted mine to fat32... just make a full copy of your card first because formatting will erase it's contents.
