how can I reformat the Uzebox using an arduino?
I was messing with the Uzebox, and the SD card and now it doesnt even load tetris,.. only the boot loader and that doesnt seem to get the SD card.
So I would like to reprogram the Atmel Chip, I have an Arduino Uno. Can I use that as a programmer? if so, how?

I think you now have your issue resolved with your alternate SD card.

I have not tried this particular tutorial, but I remember messing with an UNO for this purpose before and think it worked. If you do it, make sure you read up on fuses etc. first, there are things you can do that can only be undone with high voltage programmer..which I don't even know where you get one of those. There are possibilities of totally bricking it also...then again a 644' isn't that expensive to replace versus added safety time...neither is a real ISP :|
