How can I format my ps2 memory card. Every time I tried to save on it it said that saving failed, I tried to see what kind of data it contains there was message that there is no data

From How do you format an 8MB PS2 memory card? | Answerbag.com (http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/24813)

"I was able to format an unformatted ps2 8mb memory card by putting it in and turning on the ps2 without a game. I selected browser, and then selected the memory card. The system indicated the card was unformatted and asked if I wanted to format it. I selected yes and the card was formatted and showed 7998 kb free. I was able to save and load the game after formatting. The format option is not available if the card is already formatted."

I tried to do that but it said that there is no data although it shows that there is only 165kb free space
