My hero isn't letting me format my 2gb microSD card.
I've unmounted the card, pressed format and nothing appears to happen.
I can mount the card to my pc and see all the files on the card, so it's not corrupt.
Is there an app that will allow me to format my card?
I've been trying to format my SD card for most of the day. I simply can not get the card to be formatted in my phone/usb card reader.
I can write to the card but it's refusing to format. This seems strange to me? Does anybody know of a work around?

Under settings, SD card & phone storage,unmount SD card, then select format SD card.
Hello...
i go to Settings -> Storage... and i unmount de sd card.
Then it activates the option to delete sd card. It isnt any option called format SD or something like that.
I have backup all my files to my pc hard drive ( cut & paste). So my sd card is empty. To delete the sd card ( 8 gb capacity) it takes 2-3 seconds.
Its that ok ?
Would you recommend me to format the sd card ? If so how ?
Thanks in advance
It's ok to format your card. Try to put it into an adapter an connect that to your pc, and format it from Windows (FAT32 is ok).
After that it should function as new....!
Good luck, greetz,

connect your phone with the usb to the computer. Mount the SD card and after that you should see your SD drive in the computer (under my computer). Right click on the icon of the SD drive and then click format and click quick format.
Thanks... but you are telling me how to format the sd card in the pc... thats right...
My first doubt was if i had already formatted the sd card or if its a bug or a translation mistake in ginger bread.
When i unmount the sd card it lit the option "Borrar tarjeta almacenamiento" ( Delete sd card in english), and it doesnt appear any "Formatear tarjeta" ( format sd card in english).
Everybody has the same ? Or do you have the two options to delete and format the sd card ?
Thanks again.
There is only one option. That is to format the SD Card. I think its a translation mistake. Make a backup of your SD Card and then use the delete/format option.
I was in Sub-Zero recovery and for some reason the phone cannot MOUNT the EMMC which to the recovery is the External SD card, that I have read. So I decided to PARTITION it, and partitioned it alright, my INTERNAL SD CARD. It completely FORMATTED IT, all my music, my ROM downloads, recovery downlaods. WTF? WHY WOULD IT TOUCH the internal SD card, when i told it to touch the external SD card? And yes I told it to do the external NOT internal.
When I went to mount it, it STILL COULD NOT MOUNT IT. I put my SDCARD into my computer directly it had to format it? There should of been 4GB of FAT32 left, if the partitioning did it correctly. It didn't and I still had to format it. It reads fine in my computer it's an 8gb SDHC card, tell me this phone can't read SDHC??
Why can't this phone read this SD card, when my computer can read it fine, and why did it touch the internal SD card, getting rid of my backups, and everything else? Why would the recovery do that?

What rom and version were you running? CM9 swapped /emmc and /sdcard in one of the latest commits, it's possible the ROM you're running cherrypicked that commit.
I have used partitions on my old rooted phone where I thought the sd card had crashed because of partitioning it. Now I have removed the partition and I am still getting problems. Then I formatted my whole micro sd card using windows. Whenever I insert my sd card into windows via my phone, it asks me to format it.
Why has micro sd partitioning wrecked my sd card???!!

I am also getting the bad zip file error on android! I am beginning to believe that partitioning has destroyed my sd card permanently!
My phone is asking me to format my sd card out of the blue. I have a 32gb Kingtson, I have a lot of crucial data. I have not yet formatted the sd card. I've tried conventional ways of getting my data like using GETDATABACK FAT32 but it did not work. I have used other but no to avail.
Does anyone know what is the best method to recover files from a sd card that was working but now it is not?
Go to settings>storage and unmount microsd. Remove the microsd feom ur phone. Use a microSD card adapter ... a full size sd card that u can put ur microsd card into and will fit into your pc. Click and drag important data from microsd onto desktop. Then fat32 format the microsd and reload the data onto it. Done.
Or u can upload all data to dropbox and then format amnd reinstall... but it may take a while.
