Hi, unfortunately your question contains the answer "it depends on the way a stock CF card is formatted" - if you format it with Windows (XP) then no MBR is created, but I've also found no sure fire way to create the MBR every time (I'm sure an older Windows 95 or 98 or even Linux OS might do it all the time).

Some cards come formatted with an MBR from the manufacturer.
