[BIGstiffness55]

for some reason my SD card just went dead for no reason, I tried to format it with my card reader and it tells me that there is no card inserted ...................... does anyone know how get it to work again, or do i have to buy a new one

If your card reader won't read it and your phone won't either, try sticking it in a digital camera and see if that will recognize it. If it does, have it reformat the card and then put it back in the card reader and reformat it again to make sure you have a good clean format just to be safe. If the camera doesn't recognize it though it's probably time to buy a new one.

If the card you have happens to be a 4Gb card though, more than likely a digital camera won't read it either. You may have to go buy a newer card reader to be able to format it.

Thanks for your response, but for some reason it started working again today, well in my phone atleast, so when I get home I am going to test it in my card reader and even if it works I am just going reformate it anyway ......................... which would be the best formate to put it in FAT or FAT32

Thanks again

Either one will work in your wizard. Fat32 would probably be the better of the 2 though.
