[QUOTE="hexah, post: 900517, member: 333852"] That is a very useful program. I find that windoze users who format the SD card for the first time on their computer usually make the mistake of not unchecking the Quick Format box. It is checked by default so they just accept the default. Doing the longer low level format can ward off or cure early problems caused by the Quick Format 'resetting' the card when the long format goes through all the memory on the card and flags up any crap bits so they will not be written to. It makes sense to do a low level format from time to time to help the controller on the card avoid any useless bits. [/QUOTE]
