    Now that was just Rude Sunkast. Don't mind him. He's always grumpy. He knows his stuff, but you have to take him with a grain of salt.

    Sorry. I was going for the Guinness commercial style of Genius. But if you think it is offensive, I'll modify my post.

    Sunass!LMFAO!

    Where did you get the card? It's not used is it? Sounds like it could be bad.

    If the card came with an adapter that can be plugged into the
    USB port on your PC try formating it that way.

    O.S. shouldn't matter in this case. Like AG said try formatting with pc if you have a reader other wise take it back. Also if you're not in a hurry Amazon has been running 8g's for under 30 bucks shipped.

    Hi...

    Yes, try to format the microSD as they said in a PC. If you cannot format it using the microSD adapter in a PC, take the card back to RS and get another one. One suggestion, I have seen this work ok using the phone and then with the same type card on another phone, it will not format. You can then usually get control of the card on a PC and format the card FAT. Once installed, the phone can then manage the card. Don't worry about the cost, as the pricing points on these cards are coming down. I get 2gb's for $7.00 at Tiger *irect.

    Let us know how your doing and good luck...

    Also my next suggestion. The card should be formatted to FAT16.
