D'OH!

Forgot to insert my SD card in phone so I went all Homer Simpson and inserted during boot. Now both phone and comp wont read card and says my card it needs format.

Its not really that big of a deal, just wanna know if it would be possible to salavage any data on my SD card.

Also, what settings should I use to format? Format as FAT and set Allocation unit size as 512 bytes?

Damn, tried formatting and my phone nor my PC will format the card.

On Razr I get 'SD card blank'

On Windows, I get "Windows was unable to format drive"

My SD card damaged?
