I put it inside of the clie but it doesnt recognize it...what should I do, some kind of format? how? On the specs of the TJ35, it says that my clie should read this kind of memory stick...I am puzzled Thanks Emo

When you insert it into the Clie, you do not hear the sound (the sound when MS is inserted and recognized). I have a 256MB Memory Stick Pro running fine in the same Clie. I put it in my computer's Sandisk reader, and it read the 1GB MS fine. I noticed that it was formatted to FAT32, so I tried re-formatting it to FAT. No joy. The Clie doesn't "see" the card when it is inserted. So if anyone has figured this out, I would truly appreciate any answers. -Sage

I believe that to convert the fat you erase the card and place the 256MB Ms file onto the erased 1gb card. (don't really know if that will work but if you click properties on your pc the computer will read fat and not fat 32) The original poster never gave us feedback and that sucks. Otherwise a normally formatted 1gb card is supposed to work on the TJ-35. One question how did you format it to fat 32 by using the pc or was it originally new or previously used?

I used "disk management" in xp and set it to FAT32. No joy, so I re-formatted it again but this time as "FAT".

Tried copying the two files from a freshly Clie formatted 256MB MS Pro (which works in the PDA) to a freshly PC formatted 1GB MS Pro, and still, the PDA does not recognize that there is card installed.

Another method to try is using a sony Cybershot camera to reformat the card. Otherwise you are stuck with a "flash card" or a semi-usb zip file.
