Format Multimedia Card ?

[Andy100]

Is there any software to format my MultiMedia Card so it will work in my mp3
player (Ondio 128), the format software which comes with WinXP doesn't do
it, when i go to My Computer and right click the drive there to format card
it comes up with errors on my mp3 player (no valid card). Yet when i
formatted it on my Pocket PC it worked, however the software on my Pocket PC
has now expired.

I think the problem is that i had the settings on 'chunk size 2' on the
Pocket PC, WinXP formatter doesn't give me this option. Thats probably why
it worked in the PocketPC and not XP.

Just looking for freeware which will allow me to put the card in my card
reader (USB card reader) and let me format it ready for the mp3 player. I
did used to have freeware for this but lost it and have searched Google with
no luck.

Cheers
Andy

Hey Andy,

Are you sure your player will not work with a Windows format? It's always
worked for me on cameras and MP3 players. Maybe the memory card itself is
weak. I've seen this a couple of times.

Card works fine when i formatted it in the Pocket PC, as did other cards. I
did the same in WinXP, all cards dont work in it (they do, however work in
digital cameras). A brand new card works fine, if i then format it in any
DigiCam then it doesn't work. The cards are all fine, but need to be
formatted back to factory settings, help !!!

Sort of - I believe that FAT32 can only be used above 512MB.
