To answer your question (because the others didn't)... I believe that if the cf card fits into the BP and the cf card is OK, the BP will reformat it.

First, let me clear up something that might come up later. I am the guy who advocated waiting for the new Book Port to come out next year before I bought one. Several of you launched a vigorous campaign to dissuade me from waiting. Well, you one the argument. Actually, my wife did since I promised her my iPod as soon as I purchased a Book Port. Anyway, I placed my order for a Book Port today. They are back ordered until the end of this month. Now for the actual reason for my writing to this list. I have a compact flash card which my Pac Mate doesn't seem to recognize at this time. If I plug this flash card into my new book port and the card really is corrupted, will the Book Port reformat the card for me, or will the unit hopelessly lock up? I do not have a card reader on my computer and was wondering how the BP would handle this possibly tricky situation.
