Title: How To Format Sd Card? --gotit
Post by: drogo on January 25, 2006, 12:55:53 pm

I've gone back to OZ after trying it a while ago, but am having some troubles.

I decided to re-install it and format my SD card, but it's not working. I can't unmount it,  (Device in use error) but it doesn't show as mounted when I click the little icon at the lower right. This works fine for my CF cards, but not the SD card.

I'm running kernel 2.4.18. I'm pretty sure I loaded OZ 3.5.4rc1, so I was going to try dropping back to 3.5.3 and see if that lets me do it.

Any ideas? It mounts during boot, and something ties it up so I can't unmount it for a format.

In going to 3.5.3, I made sure not to have the SD card inserted on first boot. Then when I put it in for the first time, it asked what I wanted to do. After that, I was able to unmount it, then get it formatted.
