Hi Bob and others, This is crazy, but what I've done in the past that's very fast is to just erase the card.
I have a ptr, a disk burner and I put my card in it and erase it. It's very quick. The problem with that is that you have to erase the card, you cannot pick and chuse but it's fast and painless. My question for people who do not have a ptr burner, could you erase the card with a pc somehereow. I don't know the aswer that this question. For those of you who have a ptr and would like step by step directions write me off list and I'll try to walk you through it. Hope this helps. Frank M.
