"It needed creating the Nintendo 3DS folder" is not the same as the sd card needed to be formatted on the 3DS in order to be used..
Well yes it is, because it wasn't happy with that folder I copied from my old card. If I did a simple transfer job I was getting that warning.

Just for correctnes:
Guiformater is simply a Graphical user interface for the commandline tool fat32formater.

There is a field "allocation unit size", there can be set the sektor size.
For drives smaller/ equal 64gb -> 32768bytes = 32k
For drived bigger 64 gb -> 65536bytes = 65k

Each 3DS creates on a insert SDCard a folder, wich is linkt to the system. This folder is encrypted with AES 128 bit. Its a bit like a zip archiv, there can be a bit error and the archiv is invalid. If corrupted, the 3DSsystem will create a new. In this folder is every related stuff of nintendo stored, also the installed games and titles.
