Is this the stock 8gb card that shipped with the EVO or is this another microSD card?

If this is a large (16-32gb) eBay "Great Deal", then it is probably a 1, 2, or 4gb card that had the file table (or something like that) modified to show the larger capacity. If this is the case, the card isn't worth attempting to salvage.

format through the computer

If you format it through a computer, the best way is to use a program that formats the SD card to the SD card standard.

I purchased a 16GB Sandisk uSD card from the RS I got the Evo at and it worked well for a month then **** the bed when I did the Froyo update. I had copied about 10GB of mostly music to it and all was well until I did the Froyo update. I suspect that the repeated shutdown/reboot sequence during the update hosed the card.

I will return the card to RS when I get a chance -- I can't do anything with it from my PC as everytime I attempt to so much as look at the card my laptop (HP with Win7 64) locks up.

I suspect HTC needs to redo there boot/reboot sequence to reduce the chance of a uSD card fail...
