I have A new Micro SD card Windows XP cannot read it or format it. It can only tell me its format is RAW. Disk Manager is no help cannot read the drive. I tried formatting in my camera it works there but the PC cannot read it. It's a Kingston 2GB card. My internet searches tells me it must be changed to FAT but not how. Can anyone help me?

Thank You
John

well you can use a program like swissknife v3 to format it into any format that you want.

it also allows you to format any sized hard drive into fat32 format.

thank you i'll let you know how it goes.

This did not work. It said the drive is write protected.
Can you suggest any thing else?

Thank You
John

The drive write protect is enabled meaning that little write protect switch is on. See:

What if the card is not locked? but it still shows "card is locked?"
what will i do then?
PLS help! i have a asimilar problem!
