Are you trying FAT or FAT32?  FAT32 is the method I believe you should use.  
I’m out of my element here so take with appropriate grains of salt.

Subject: More Micro SD Card Problems

 

Hi all,

I emailed a couple days ago, asking if anyone knew why I couldn't format a 
micro SD card. Well, I've now had this same problem with another card, and with 
both cards in two different adapters. This is almost certainly software, and 
not a problem with the cards or readers. Micro SD cards don't have write 
protection switches, and the one reader I have is USB and so also lacks a 
switch. I'm not sure what else to try.

 

I'm trying to format them as MS-Dos (FAT), and if I expand the details of the 
failure, I see that it failed to modify the partition map, whatever that means. 
If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate them. Thanks.
