Short of finding someone with a Rio to reformat it, you could try your
local electrical retailer (in the UK that would be somewhere like Dixons
for a national outlet, though a smaller chain might be a better bet).
I'm sure they'll let you use a Rio for a few minutes if either you are a
regular customer, or indicate you'll purchase something afterwards. Okay
the assistant is sure to watch you but if you then buy a load of blank MDs
I reckon they'd be happy to let you reformat your card. Actually (flash
of inspiration) in Britain, Argos let you return almost any item within
15-days for a full refund, no questions asked, not that I condone abusing
that service however :) Dunno which country you live in though...
Good luck!
