tcmnutMemberQuote:EHX staff members do read these forums and respond
us volunteers just usually respond firstah I see, sorry if it sounded like I was compaining , really I wasn’t heheh…
btw even the Lexar utility didn’t do the trick -well sorta .. it did format the flash card but in windows it reports it’s not formatted when I try to access it . ..so I tried to format it to FAT (16) by right clicking and it starts but hangs .. seems this thing is toast ! But I ‘m not giving up I’m going to a friends tonight who have a media reader (writer ?) .. last resort is to buy one of my own.
I don’t know why I decided to format this thing, it was a dumb, very dumb move.
It’s obvious I have little experience with CF cards, are these things always this fussy or did I just get a dud ?pardon my dyslexic typing err I mean tyslexic dyping.
tcmnutMemberI downloaded Imgae Rescue 3 s/w from Lexar – it’s free !
I succesfully formatted the cf card and now it’s testing it ..real slooooooooow.
I’ll report back if this works.
tcmnutMemberQuote:Did you try another computer?Yes I did as you suggested although I can’t see the reasoning behind that one and again complete the same result.
I then went into the computer managemnt area of xp disk management and it saw the ‘drive’ as 1.85 gb and when I tried to format it it hung. So again my question is – is there a low level format hidden or service preocedure for the CF card . . perhaps I should e-mail ehx directly I’m not sure they read these forums or not.
Thanks for trying to help, in the meantime I’ll try to find someone who has a media reader – I knew I’d have t obuy one of those darned things one day ..hehe
