I have a 2GB EP FM Flash Card. I put in in my
Nikon CoolPix 7900 Digital Camera and it worked great! After filling it up with pictures and
video's, I wanted to erase this stuff.

My mistake was to format it with Windows.

Windows XP does not format the SD Flash card in
the standard SD card format!!

I put it back in my Nikon Digital Camera and it did not recognize the SD card!!

I found a program that runs unders Windows that format the SD card to the original format used
in SD cards

The program is free and is from SD card association
of which Patriot Memory is a member!!

Download this file from
http://www.sdcard.org/Downloads.aspx

Download sdfv1212.exe

Make the card the same as it was before as
when I took it out of the box when new!!

It now works great in my Nikon CoolPix digital
camera.

Hope Patriot Memory put this file in their support section for download for flash memory on their site!!

Remember, format in SD cards in not the same type of
format as under windows, espcially for Digital Camera's!!

Hope this helps anyone out there!!
