Ah that's very interesting. With Windows I wrote down the procedure on the wiki, I think you can always right click on the drive in "Computer" and select format. However if it fails this might indicate another issue, maybe a problem with the storage driver ? Can you try to format with another computer or Linux if you can ?

I think not. You have to first do the failing Disk Management format and then do Explorer Quick Format.

I have done hundreds of formats using the OF without any failure.

Will do.
Meanwhile, if anyone has got the RB port official format procedure for Windows to work on the current bootloader (V1Beta3_3f555f01), please do report here. Thanks.
And if anyone can answer "How may one verify the file system is formatted properly?", I'd be grateful.

pamaury, I just re-read the bootloader instructions in the wiki and noticed that there are two variants for the Zen firmware. I am in the US using the prebuilt version of firmware-zen.nk for Windows. Is this the EU version, and if so could that be a possible cause of the lcd issues only I seem to be experiencing? Thanks for your hard work and I'm sorry to have been a bother.

Actually there is a simple to check that: boot into recovery, select "format" (you will loose all the data) and try to boot the OF. If the LCD works correctly in OF it means in makes nod difference (since this is the EU firmware). I expected both kinds to have the same LCD though.

pamaury, the screen does work properly booting into OF. Thanks.
