i bought a used nokia 770 that came with a separate 2 GB (MMC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_Card))
the card looks like this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rs-mmc_back.jpg)
i believe the memory card is corrupt

if i plug it in via my card reader, it doesn't show up in windows explorer

i've tried partition magic on windows and gparted on linux with no success

i really love my nokia 770 and use 2007 hacked edition

thanks!

Try the (free) Panasonic SD Memory Card Formatting Software (http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.html).

Perhaps I misunderstand. Using OS2008, have you tried: Utilities>File Manager>(select problem card)>File Manager Menu>Tools>Format Memory Card?

Good luck

The format memory card works for os2008.
If want to stay with os2007. Find a digital camera that takes sdhc cards put it in and let format the card for you. Before os2008 came out that was how i used to format sdhc cards for my N800. Your friendly electronics store has them for demo. Just put your card in and let it format the card for you. :) Hope this helps, Dan
