To be bootable, the disk has to have a driver. I guess sometimes a standard formatting doesn't apply this driver to PC card flash memory. I dunno why that is...


With that in mind, I'd guess it's a timing issue with the cards. My setup has to have a driver, or it would not work. Yet it intermittently fails on the 5300. It's a older Sandisk 64meg CF. The Pc card adapter is just wires, no logic, but something coule be noisy or with tht too I suppose and cause problems.

So Bob should trot out and spend more $ :)
