CF Card - Can't see "DH1:NDOS" so can't format it

I have prepared a 4gb CF card in WinUAE and HDToolBox sees both partitions but when I then try to format them both only "DH0:NDOS" is shown in Workbench even though you can see DH0 & DH1 if I hold down both mouse buttons to display the Boot Options after resetting.

Could this mean the card is faulty? I have performed a test of the card and it seems fine and it originally had 3 partitions on it totaling 4gb.

Any ideas please?

Try to format from the CLI instead.

Thanks for the suggestion but no joy - I get "Format Failure: no disk in drive".

Many thanks to you both. GUIFormat seems to have done the job.
