Re: format microSD

For microSD - normally a device like Cell Phone should give you format options?
Also try a or Card Reader connected to PC.

Flash Drive - Connect to Pc and go from there.

Hard Drive - Run a search on forum, GParted etc could help.

Re: format microSD

You can format SD and SDHC cards in console with "mkdosfs" and "mkfs commands.

man mkdosfs

tells how to make a FAT filesystem.

man mkfs

tells how to make a Linux filesystem.

If you install GParted, that's a pretty good GUI application to do the same thing, and it also makes partitions, and can set the "bootable" flag.
