a way to format the microSD card?

I am 16 years old, but I am also very good with computers. Can
someone
give me any hint on what might be the problem?

You should be able to format it just like a disk drive. Open up My
Computer, find the card, right clock and choose Format.

In linux you could format it with:

mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 (assuming the first partition on the card)

If you have other USB stuff, it might be a different device number than
sda, so you'd still have to figure that out. One way to do that is to make
sure it isn't plugged in, open a terminal window, plug the device in,
wait about 10 seconds, then type:

dmesg

It should show you the device and partition number. Most likely it will be
sda and sda1 if it's the only thing USB.
