Initialization failed with SD card
I'm trying to read the SD card on my Ethernet Shield, but after uploading the example sketch and pressing the "Serial Monitor" button I received an "Initializing SD card...initialization failed..." message. How do I debug this? My Ethernet Shield was ordered from SparkFun btw, so do I use pinMode(4, OUTPUT) instead of the default pinMode(10, OUTPUT)? or do I add a digitalWrite(4, HIGH) command as was suggested on another forum?

Did you format the SD card using the recommended SD formatting software? learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-micro-sd-br ... ial/format
