MicroSD error

Link doesn’t work.

Guys, i just bought dso nano v2, there is your instruction:
1 . Make sure your SDcard supports SPI mode. (Most SDHC and over 2GB card does not)
2 . Format your SDcard with FAT16
3 . Create a new file named FILEXXX.DAT in your SDcard root (file size must bigger than 1KB). Or directly
download from dso.seeedstudio.com and copy it into SD card root.

  1. how?!
  2. I found 4 different types of FAT16.
  3. this files are only on google code and here
    I has 1gb kingston and still couldn’t save forms.
    When i’m pressing A+OK it says Write finish, but FS FL couldn’t load/save.

Could somebody give working instructions for formating in linux ?
