Oh dear....
OK do this... format the card as FAT32.
Then format again as NTFS.
Solved.
Oh dear is right...
Sorry, mate. But formatting any removable storage to NTFS is a no no.
Plus he stated that if he tried a FAT32 format, the system said unable to format. This isn't going to change if NTFS is selected.
The best format tool was linked in my 1st post - SD Association format utility. If that format, then nothing will be able to format.
