Usb Compact flash problems
Guys,
Knoppix recognized my usb connected compact flash card ( 64 meg ) I was transferring files to it, and it just seized up after about 10 meg transferred. I reformatted the flash in win98, the flash will only transfer over 8 meg, and then the flash seizes up in Knop AND in win 98, ONLY permitting about 8 meg to be transferred for both operating systems
what happened? I thought it was the card, I got a new one sent to me and the same damn thing happened again to the new card, and windoze has a hard time reformatting the flash AND scan disking the flash, win 98 seizes up after scanning only 8000 or so blocks/sectors-whatever
Basically I have a flash card that is 64 meg but will only allow 8 meg transferred
Help

Tell me about it, heads/sectors and partitions! - I find that my cheap digital camera formats compact flash cards correctly and (believe it or not) this is what I tend to use. In a shell you could try:-
fdisk /dev/sda (or maybe try cfdisk? - you do know what the 'f' in 'fdisk' stands for.....?) then:-
mkdosfs /dev/sda1
Funny that W98 doesn't do it correctly, don't you think?
Stoo.....
