I recently purchased a USB reader and a few Compact Flash cards and ran into
a problem after experimenting with the usb-storage drive to use the flash
cards as drive storage capacity.
The compact flash cards come pre-formatted with a FAT 16 partition. After
removing this partition without immediately recreating one, the card seems as
though it can no longer be accessed. It reports as being a 64Mb device but
the partition table can no longer be read.
I have been successful at changing the partition type to 83 and reformatting
the CompactFlash devices with an ext2 filesystem... but with this particular
unit, I removed the partition table entry and removed the card from the
reader.
Did I goof up and trash the CompactFlash unit or did it just happen to go bad
about the same time that I blanked the partition table?
Is there a way to write a new parition table to it at a raw/USB command level?
