Application description

The full featured storage card management utility

Verify, Repair, Format and AUTORUN your memory cards with Flash Format! With Flash Format you can get detailed information and statistics about your storage cards, including physical characteristics (FAT type, sectors, cluster, heads, cylinders, etc.) and analysis of file allocations (slack space).

Of course, you can also use Flash Format to perform integrity checks, repair allocation errors, and re-format storage cards to original conditions, wherever and whenever you need it. Furthermore, Flash Format lets you activate AutoRun on any storage card (without reformatting), so that your games, MP3 playlists, eBooks or PhotoAlbums can be automatically started at card insertion.
