Hi, There may be some other problem. I had a very similar trouble with a CF card: My BIOS detected it correctly, I was able to partition it using the FreeDOS liveCD, I could store any data without any problem, but there was no way to make it bootable (the BIOS couldn't find the MBR). I tried to partition it under knoppix too, without success (the drive was still seen by FreeDOS, but couldn't be booted from). I don't know why, but it seem that some BIOSes aren't 100% compatible with CF drives (or maybe some CF cards aren't compatible with PCs, it's hard to say...). bye, Mateusz Viste -- You'll find my public OpenPGP key at http://mateusz.viste.free.fr/pub_key
