how long should it take to format the media card?

My screen has been frozen on the media card options screen for more than 30 minutes formatting the card. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!:)

yes but im not sure how to fix it.
a memory card only takes moments(1GB card anyway), maybe a minute at most to format, im not sure if larger cards take longer.
also do you know that formatting the card deletes all media that was currently on there?

It definitely should not take that long. Which memory card are you using?

Using the SanDisk 4gb. It came with an "adapter" as well but it doesn't appear to fit inside the phone. hmmmmmmm.

Thanks for the help! I haven't put anything on it yet so safe there. If I could get the thing to work I've got all kinds of stuff to worry about there!

Yeah, the adapter is for your computer, so you can view your media files from your BB on the computer screen. Sandisk 4gb eh? Well, perhaps there is something wrong with the card.

There have been a few threads lately about memory card issues just like yours. Ultimately, most are resolved by getting a replacement memory card.

Hopefully, you can do it as an exchange and not have to pay for it.
