I had the same problem, but it would not let me restore a backup. I ended up writing down the folders from my 16MB stick then using File Manager to recreate them. Took about 15 minutes but worked fine!

Hi,

After formatting the card through the PC or whatever, the folders are created automatically when you install something from the PC to the P800 and select the card as the install location. I think the folders are also created when you use a program on the P800 that accesses the mem card.

I formated the card and installed traker and opera and the folders did not get created. I had to restore the memory card in order for me to see the memory stick.

If I wanted to format the card what directories are required?

when you format the memory stick..all will be erased... to need to restore... just open communicam, audio or video and default folder will be created
