Formatting CF Cards

Post by RWAP »

Some people have noticed an issue with compact flash cards which are not being properly formatted under Windows XP, in that they do not have a master boot record (which is required by FATware).

This can be resolved using the LiveCD version of GParted to format the CF card.

GParted also has the added benefit of
- providing the facility to partition your CF card
- providing feedback on cylinders, heads and partition information

(Both not available via WinXP)
