    Guys I did a full format on the card, now when I turn on the DS it keeps going to a menu asking resume formating or cancel formating. It also says quick & full format complete! Its driving me nuts, any ideas ? Thanks in advance !

    ....then click where it says 'resume formatting'.
    a 'full format' will take about an hour to complete.
    maybe your not leaving it long enough.
    .
    also...after you do a full format, the option 'full format' will NOT be in the menu. 'quick format' & 'cancel' will be the only options.
    .
    try the full format again. if it doesnt work, try formatting it in windows(which wont work)(but might somehow help fix an unknown problem)[then] try a quick format again with the firecard in the DS.
    .
    dont give up.
    .
    L+R+Select+START+UP
    or
    START & SELECT
    when booting-up the firecard.
    .
    did you put the xmenu back in, like that mr satcat suggested?
    do you know how to put it on?
    do you have the xmenu on your PC?
    connect everything to the PC....firecard into DS slot 1>>>>adapter in DS slot 2>>>USB cable from adapter to USB port on PC>>>>turn on DS.....option should apear saying 'usb mode' or 'game mode'...select USB mode....listen for sound as your PC recognises the firecard.
    firecard is now a removable drive in 'my computer'.
    .....find XMENU on your PC...right click>>>>menu pops up>>>>>send to>>>>>removable drive'X'.
    .
    if you done have the xmenu any more, get it here...
    http://www.dslinker.cn/soft/
    XMENU 2.55
    .
    let us know how you get on.
    good luck.
