r4 gold help

i recently bought a r4i gold
i bought one with a micro sd
i have been trying to formatting my microsd i followed like few guides
i formatted it to fat32 and put the system files on there
but it stills goes tothe home menu for the ds saying there is no card in there
can someone give a step by step guide to format the sd card correctly
please and thank you

wrong section of the forumbut to answer your question we need more info
what r4i gold do you have, there's like 7 of the clones?
is your DS a DSi with 1.4.1 firmware?
