To Format or not 2 .. that is the Q ?

If you need to format MMC I recommend to close the machine, remove MMC. Reboot it. Then insert MMC, Start FileMan and format the card.
If you need to format device card
First, remove(uninstall) any localization software, etc (that can be run at startup and prevent formating). Reboot machine. And when the "hands" are appear strike Ctrl-Shift-F.
Please be VERY patient when formating.

Zeus
I had the same problem!

I change the localezation back to normal and i unstalled 2 programs... the localezation and the OPL... and voila worked like a charm!!! (sorry about my english)

Did you see format progress bar after you've pressed Format button for a little and then "Hands" immediately?

You should UNINSTALL (not turn off only) all programs that can "patch" your system before.
Umm... Zeus... I was trying to help! 
I know that and I was trying to explain how to make it work (format)!!!!
I don't have any problem!
Oops, sorry. You're right. I've caught a glimpse of your post 
Don't worry! That's ok!
Thanks anyway!
Thanks guys,
I did uninstall almost everything but the only software that i couldn't uninstall was the Arabic font from PSI it always says file in use even if i disable it i still can't unistall it !!!
any hope ?
Umm...
Install the SwissA.sis again and then the Arabic PSI...
Enable the Arabic PSI, reboot, disable it again and then uninstall it...
it should work that way...

Well, you can first use FileManager to rename the folder of Fonts (C/system/fonts or D/system/fonts) and then use TaskManager to restart the machine to do the Format procedure. After formatting machine, you can rename back your Fonts folder lor..
