I second Jan, there is probably a device-specific formatting program for the card. The standard DOS & Windows format commands may not create the base structure of a file-system that your hardware is expecting. Have you googled about to see if others have tried to create the same solution you are after for that specific hardware? Or is it too obscure for that even?
I have to agree also with the recommendations to try a newer scripting language, unless you have some old-school experience with DOS and want to use it for nostalgiac reasons. VBScript is usable, if you learn a bit about using the FileSystem objects etc. Python is my favorite for quick tools these days, it probably requires a little investment in learning, but there are some good beginner resources out there on t'internet. I hope you have found a satisfactory solution by now, anyway. -- Les Ferguson Business Analyst, Health IT Somewhere in New Zealand > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J Collett > Sent: Wednesday, 15 November 2006 00:31 > To: General Practice Computing Group Talk > Subject: RE: [GPCG_TALK] DOS scripting help or other ideas please > > >Yes - you should check the copied files before agreeing to > format the > >card. > > All of the digital cameras I have ever used, mostly high-end, > have spat the dummy at Windows formatted cards and require to > format the cards themselves. > > Are there digicams out there that cope with Windows > formatting?
