Peter:

There is one more catch. When you use chkdsk without the /f parameter, you =
are only checking the card. So, it probably didn't change anything, and I =
suspect running it again would produce the same report. To correct the =
card, try:

chkdsk p: /f

Hi Rob,

That's very strange; it works great on our XP systems. I am assuming you

know the drive letter of the BP, and are typing something like:

chkdsk p:
--
Thanks for the tip - that did the trick. WinXP checked the CF card in the =
Book Port,
then gave me the message: "Windows corrected some problems with the file =
system."
Hope that takes care of the occasional error message. I appreciate your =
quick response.

Peter
