Sorry to hear that. I have been using a SanDisk 256MB SD Card for about two months now without any problem at all. I use it with the Cruzer that came with it (an USB adapter) and in my Zaurus C-760 on a daily basis and it hasn't played up on me yet. First thing I did when I got it was putting an ext2 filesystem on it (as I don't have to use Windows at work and I certainly don't own it at home), so I can't tell if a FAT filesystem would give more trouble, although I can't imagine why it would. I guess I have been quite lucky or you have just gotten the bad one from the batch... Grx HdV -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
