How to formate memory card?

i have 4GB memory card when i connect it to my computer it shows to format when i select it, it does not complete i am not able to open it in cellphones also.I have very important things in it.


Answer

If you have important things on it you would not want to format (erase) it. It appears either locked (check for a physical tang that can be moved toward a padlock icon) OR it's damaged.

If it's damaged data recovery software might still be able to scavenge it.

There's a CardWiper (actually a recovery) app, or DataRescue 3.
