I have a 32gb micro sdhc card, i dont have the sdhc adaptor as I got it off of my cousin, it worked in one of my sd card adaptors I had lying around, as in it could read the micro card, but a soon as i tried formatting it, It didn’t work,it keeps showing up as needs formatting, iChat I want to know is if I can still format with a compatible adaptor.
Possibly, but you won’t know until you try. The problem in reading the card could also be the card reader you’re using. From personal experience I’ve found that the cheap ones can work one minute and not the next.
