in my experience, x2 software make all the job by itself.... why you think you have to format your card? does it have any memory spaceproblem or something like that? are you trying to safe a visa track on the jcop? some visa cryptograms are larger and need more space in memory than mc.... so maye you need a j2a080 instead j2a040.... maybe iam wrong.... anyway you can format your card followinf this steps (you have to have the mcgyver .cap andf also you have to run this on the gpshell )....
