Thats strange, you are using a memory card windows should not format the card because its not a pc storage device. Stick it onto the xbox controler and let xbox format it for you. Then reconnect the card into the action replay memory card port. You should transfer the game save by using the software. If windows is detecting it as a portable storage media and its showing up in "My Computer" windows will want to format the card but dont allow it.
Get a newer version of the action replay software. Its usb drivers maybe outdated and that may be the reason why windows cant recognize it.
