I'm want to format a "standard" 16G/32G SD card to OEM format.

Could someone please verify that the following will do this:

    mkdosfs -I /dev/sdX
    fdisk /dev/sdX n,p,1,default,default,w
    mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX1

It seems to work, but could someone please verify that its correct?

    Thanks,

    John
