Memory media format
New media cards are formatted according to specific standards. If you wish to reformat a media card, be sure to do so with a device that uses media cards.
Formatting microSD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards
microSD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards are sold already formatted in conformity to specific standards. If you reformat an microSD/SDHC/SDXC memory card, be sure to reformat it with a device such as digital camera or digital audio player that uses microSD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, not with the format command provided within Windows.
Should you need to format all areas of the memory card, including the protected area, you will need to obtain an appropriate application that applies the copy protection system.
