Sorry mate, just got in from work
Stick it in your card reader, click 'start', 'control panel', 'Administrative tools', 'computer management', 'disk management'. (I'm assuming you have XP?
)
Find the card in the list, left click to highlight it and then click the little 'x' on the toolbar to delete the partition. Then, right click on the card and select 'create partition' from the menu.
This'll start a wizard to help you partition and format the card. Just create the partition, don't format it. Once it's partitioned, put it in the device that you'll be using it in the most and format it there.
If it won't let you do any or all of the above, or if the problem still persists afterwards, you may well have a poorly card

adware can be a bugger sometimes. did you meantion the program: "spybot search and destroy" because thats a good one for stuff like that. also "hijak this" is a great program for bigger problems with the registry but not for beginners.

Hey cyco.

Yeah, that's the whole point. Sometimes, even though though the card doesn't show up or can't be read in 'My Computer', it still appears in the administrative tools disk management part of control panel.
From there, you can do all sorts with it. Usually if a card doesn't show up in 'My Computer', it's either because the partition is corrupted or because it hasn't been assigned a drive letter, both of which can be sorted in disk management

Quick question. If i put a ram module(card?) in a no compatible motherboard will it damage the motherboard or the ram slot?
I have a PC2700 ram module but i dont know if it will work on my dad's pc

It shouldn't do. SDRAM and DDR RAM have different edge connectors (DDR has one gap, SDRAM has 2) so it's pretty much physically impossible to put the wrong type of memory into a DIMM slot.
Usually, if you put the right type of memory in but the wrong speed (say, pc2700 into a board that only takes pc2100) bios POST gives you a beep code and the PC won't start up, but it doesn't usually damage the motherboard.
Safest bet, though, would be to type the motherboard model number into google and see if you can find what type / speed of memory it'll take.
