this prolly sounds kinda dumb, but what exactly does formatting your memory card do? And also how would i go about actually doing it. The phone says there is a lock code??

I am not sure how can we format the microSD card in the phone. If you have a multimedia card reader/writer (especially the SD), you can insert the micoSD into the adapter and then into the card reader then use the Windows Explorer to format the microSD. Once the format taken place, insert this microSD into the phone. You will notice the phone flash for a second. Wait until the phone get into the stand-by mode, remove the microSD from the phone and place it back into the card reader/writer. This time, you will notice there are 4 folders in it. "my_pix" for picture, "my_flix" for video, "my_song" for MP3 or ACC, and "my music" for MP3 or ACC. Use the card reader/writer to transfer the files.

CAUTION: The microSD consume a lot of battery (I found the hard way).

the lock code is the last 4 digits of your phone number, this is only to keep you from accidently wipeing the card and losing all your saved pictures and music

the phone can and does format the card, creating the right file structure and the correctly named folders that your music and pictures belong in

Counld not have said it any better... also if you ever end up using your phone's microSD card as a flash drive for non phone stuff i.e. genuine data you might need to re-format then as well
