you can try formatting it with your phone. File-Manager -> more -> ext. format

hi m8 welcometo esato....

look the best thing is to rather format your stick within the W800i... go to your file explorer, click the info button and select format, thiswill clean it and create the needed folders for you...

i dont trust windows that much so i dont suggest you do it that way...

try this if it dont eork let me know and we can try something else..

good luck *x-fingers*

It really depends on which firmware you are using, I have R1Na005 and I find its better to format the card using Windows Explorer in FAT mode. The main reason is when I do it on the phone it adds hidden .IND files all over the place, a bit weird! I really can't wait for the new firmware...
All the Way! Looking for a w705 PM me! Arizona

if you purchased it brand new and never changed the code, then the code should be 0000 like all ericssons.
