The last time I purchased an SD card, the card was not formatted.  For some reason, I could not format the card in my computer - the formatting utility errored out each time I tried.  Luckily, I remembered that SKTools provides an option  to format storage cards.

Format a Storage Card

You'll find this option to format a storage card under the Maintenance module	Scroll down to the Storage Cards option
Select the Storage Card.  You'll notice that you can also view information about the storage card in the lower window	Choose Format (choosing Empty will simply delete the contents of the storage card without formatting the card)

Rename a Storage Card

There have been a few occasions when I needed to rename my storage card. Thankfully, SKTools makes it really easy to rename a storage card.

While you are here, you can tap the Tools option on the lower right hand side of the screen and then tap Settings	In this screen you can change the default formatting options: Format with options include FAT32, FAT16 or FAT12 Cluster size options range from 0.5K to 64K
Scroll down the page and you see a list of potential storage names	If you want to rename a storage card, tap the card and enter the new name in the space provided

After you've changed the storage card name, Exit SKTools completely and perform a soft reset to apply the settings.
