Thanks Rob. I really appreciate that. At least this can be dealt with.

Thankfully, you found a bug in the beta firmware. We will work to correct this problem. In the interim, use the command line format command to reformat your 4GB card in your card reader with the following parameters: format e: /u /a:32k /fs:fat32
You would, of course, substitute the drive letter of your card reader in the above command.

DogRiver@xxxxxxxx 08/13/06 11:25AM >>>My 4GB CF card is a GXT card. It worked great until I updated the firmware. So this morning I tried formatting the card in my card reader. It did format. When I placed the newly-formatted card into the BP, the
transfer software recognized the BP. but the BP was acting very sluggish. I then tried formatting the card with the BP again, and again, once complete, I get jibberish for filenames on what's supposed to be an empty card, and the BP is no longer recognized by teh transfer software. I'm
assuming, then, that there's an issue with the BP and GXT CF cards. I hope this can be fixed as I hate the idea of having purchased a CF card that is rendered useless by firmware "improvements".
