Hey guys,

I accidentally formatted a 4gb sd card to FAT32. Now I can't use it in any of my digital cameras. Any way that I can change it back? All of my cameras say "this card cannot be read/used", or something along those lines.

I'm using OSX btw, not window if that makes any difference.

thanks

-Dan

Walt I don't doubt your own experience but I have formatted CF cards in a card reader (Windows) since I got my first DSLR in 2003 and never had a problem. All my DSLRs are/have been Nikon. OzJohn
