It's my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong, that you can only format a
maximum of 2GIGS under FAT. If you want to format the entire 4GB, you have
to format under FAT32. When you format with the BP, you are not given an
option.

Question, if one formats a 4 GB card in the book port, can one decide between FAT or FAT 32, or if one wants FAT 32, does one have to format in windows? I could always stick in my 4 GB card, but it's currently full of things I need to keep on it for a while.

What Rob and Pamela have both said is that it is a good idea to format. It's not supposed to be necessary, but it's a good idea. and since it takes a maximum of maybe twenty seconds to do it with a 4GB card, it really doesn't hurt to just take the time to do the format.
