Read the review: Flash Format 2.61 & have your say here.

Is there a free utility or a way to make the card corrupted easily? There should be a way to find the file that formats the card when corrupted. Any ideas?

wow ... a free utility or a way to make the card corrupted easily??? hmmm ...

"There should be a way to find the file that formats the card when corrupted." ... exactly what does that mean??

Are you trying to say "There should be a way to format the card when corrupted." ?

You do not need a utility to corrupt a card, you just need to write a 512MB file into it and half way through, pull it out ... I think that should sorta mess things up ... If you want irrepairable damage ... try opening it up and crossing some PCB with a penknife!

Another way is to ship it to me. Then you wont have access to it anymore ... hehe

Lol. Essentially what I mean is if I want to format a card there should be an easy way to do it without dishing out money. I know if it is corrupted a dialog box pops up, there should be a way to access the file that does that...

It's a system procedure call, rather than a file.

Any developer could write a few KB application to call for format process.
However Flash Format does more than simply formatting, it has data protection, recovery and diagnostig tools in it.
