[SOLVED] SD Card Cannot Mount in Linux

[nujinini]

Hello!

I just bought a 2G SD card and formatted it as Fat 32 using my XP partition.

Afterwards, I inserted the card in the slot using my Mint 7 OS. Though it shows in the
Computer-File Browser as SD/MMC Drive, I cannot mount it.

Error Report: Unable to Mount location, can't mount file.

It doesn't even show in gparted. The funny thing is that it is detected easily in windows. I could have missed a few steps in formatting the SD Card.

May I please ask for tome help regarding this?

Thanks!

EDIT:
Mint 7
