English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Using a Compact Flash card on a600/a1200 PCMCIA

Having problems formatting it in AmiKIT, says it can't find the device.

Tried HDTOOLBOX and it freezes up with the CF inserted!

Starting to wonder if it's an iffy CF card, how do I go about formatting it in classicWB-ADVSP?

EDIT : Just did a diskpart - clean and now it's showing up as CF0:NDOS in ClassicWB, with no freeze ups!

EDIT 2: Just doing MyFormat - Quick on the CF0: through classicWB

EDIT 3: Tried on two seperate reboots, thought it was all fixed... gave it two mins, rebooted the system and it's causing the system to crawl again

I give up, it wasn't the MBR either
