Solving Problems<br />

Reformatting CompactFlash Card<br />

Usually CompactFlash Cards (e.g. from SanDisk) using a PC Card Adapter are<br />

used. If no 128 MB cards or smaller are available, any other card is OK (see<br />

“Supported PC-cards” on page 127), but it has to be formatted/sized as<br />

described below.<br />

NOTE<br />

If this card was formatted under Windows 2000 or XP, content of the card is not visible in<br />

the Control Module anymore (different FAT system).<br />

The web site http://www.mager.org/mkdosfs/ provied a small tool that allows<br />

the formatting/resizing of the CompactFlash Cards.<br />

Download the mkdosfs.zip archive containing a compiled Windows binary.<br />

Solution 1: Use the tool mentioned in the documentation and use command to<br />

format the CompactFlash Card:<br />

mkdosfs -v -F 16 -n volname :<br />

Solution 2: Use a Digital Camera with CF-slot and reformat.<br />

Solution 3: For all CompactFlash Cards greater than 128 MB use the<br />

command:<br />

mkdosfs.exe -v -F 16 -S 512 -s 4 : 250880<br />

exactly as mentioned. Otherwise it will not work. With this command the disk<br />

space above 128 MB becomes unavailable (also via Windows explorer). To<br />

make it availabe, you must use Solution 1 or 2.<br />
