6288 and miniSD

Hi, I have a nokia 6288, it came with a 512mb minisd. after a few months i decided to get the 2gb minisd. But after a while the 2gb card died, and as it had a 5year warranty it went off to repair center. While it doesn't come, i was hoping to use my 512mb minisd to have some memory (wich I use a LOT, and not just for music), but the thing is that when i put the card, it says that it isn't formated, but when the cellphone tries to format it, it can't be formated. I am starting to lose my mind over this because I have no drive on the pc to try to format the minisd myself. is there anyway I can format the card linking my phone to the pc? Or ANY other way? thanks
