How to properly format a MicroSD Card for FroYo? The MicroSD card that came with my phone shows up as simply 'FAT' in Windows XP. This 2GB card works well in my HTC Wildfire running FroYo.
I bought a new 16GB MicroSD which is formatted as 'FAT32' but this does not work well in my phone although Windows picks it up fine.
The formatting option under settings on my phone just hangs. ('Do you want to force close this application?')
I had formatted the 16GB card in Windows before I found the SDFormatter utility. Using the SDFormatter utility now does not make a difference.
I have read that the actual filesystem for Android is YAFFS but I cannot find a utility for Windows that will format it as such.
What can I do to get a YAFFS filesystem (or plain 'FAT') on this card?
n.b. As a side note, my phone was faulty. It now works fine with FAT32
In Settings -> SD card and phone storage there is an option to format the sdcard. You first have to unmount the sdcard before you can format it.
