hi, i've got a couple of compact flash cards that need formatting, but how do i do them thru a computer on a cardreader via winxp? i'd need them to be fat 32 i think (it's for a nds flashcart)
 
Do you have the CF Card Reader correctly set up (if so, ignore this paragraph)? I know for Windows NT/2000/XP it should auto detect a reader if you've plugged one in and probably best to keep it in there as I've done, if you still don't see it I'd obviously try installing the drivers from the CD. For older Windows, use the installation CD it only takes literally 2 seconds and it should recognize the reader. It's a bit of trouble to get working on some PCs as I've tried but works great on mine.

I assume you must have it set up properly and can see it in windows explorer. You gotta right click on the Removable Disk and click on format and you should be able to change it under file system and click OK.
