the card is formatted to FAT16 sector size 512 bytes and cluster size 4kb

thanks for the answers very informative



not

Some programs just don't want to be anyplace but Main Memory. That Schumacher racing game did that to me when I tried to put it on the SD card. The developers said it was the first fatal exception they'd ever seen.

Check Here for some good info on FAT for different size drives, and other stuff you always wanted to know.
