When I bought my daughter a [Nintendo DS lite](http://www.melardenio.com/2010/04/fruits-of-my-blogging.html?ref=blog.melardenio.com) it came with a free 2GB SD card. Although a 2GB of Memory is to small for a thousand DS games that you can download online, I bought a 4GB Memory and use the 2Gb SD memory on my Samsung c3510\. Eventually, I have issues with it ejecting on my Laptop with Windows 7 platform.

Ejecting SD cards had cause into trouble. When I insert it on my laptop, it can’t be open but [Windows 7](http://www.melardenio.com/2010/07/how-to-activate-god-mode-in-windows-7.html?ref=blog.melardenio.com) can detect it. I try to reformat the SD Memory card (sandisk) but it prompts for an error. “ Windows Can’t Format the Drive: G”. It was over 2 months that I got the chance again to research and do a little googling.

I put this keyword on Google, “SD card Formatter” and VOILA! I hit the spot. A software downloadable and free from PANASONIC. It’s an EXE file that you need to install. I have it installed on my laptop and try my luck and Guess what.

Windows 7 had it recognized. What i mean recognized is that, It was able to get the Diskspace again and register the File Allocation Space, because I notice that when I’m formatting the SD card Memory it says,”unallocated Diskspace”.

If you are looking for the tool you can download it here.
