Ok, I've been screwing with this thing on and off for a week now and it's really pissing me off. When I got my new phone (a Palm Centro fyi), I also bought a 4Gb Sandisk MicroSD card. The card worked fine until I let the phone format it. I haven't been able to load files on it with the sync cable, and I can't use it with a MicroSD to USB adapter.

If I boot a computer with the card plugged in (whether it's the included MicroSD to SD adapter, or with my aformentioned USB adapter), the computer will freeze during post.

In Windows, the card will come up as a lettered drive, but when I double click on it, the computer will crawl for about 12 to 15 seconds and then report back an I/O error. In Linux, the card didn't even come up, which surprised me. Linux will usually play nicer for me than Windows. XP and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS before anyone asks.

Any ideas how I can format my card back to what it was or something like FAT32? Any help is very much appreciated.
