Is it some way , to reformat my sdcard ?

The card should be FAT16, not FAT32, in order to work. Don't know how to help if the computer doesn't see it though.

Wrong.

So FAT16 is required just for flashing or where did I go wrong?

Yep. As soon as no chinese code is involved, card might be formatted any way you want (as long as it's FAT).

thank you for your answers!
Is it possible to format my sdcard with the openinkpot software?

Uhm, what for? Just use your Windows or Linux box for it.

It is also possible to ssh to OI device and run mkfs.vfat from there.
