Hi,

what do you people use to format a largish CF-Card (8GB or larger). I
tried UFDPREP with syntax

ufdprep /size=8192 /ntfs f:

which ran without errors/warnings but still only formatted 4 GB of the
card. The rest is inaccessible.

I am using an Intenso card which otherwise runs perfectly well. i.e. my
image is running successfully but I only have half the space I would
like to have.

Thanks for any comments,
Charles

I use the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool to format my 8 GB CF cards.  It
will format in FAT32 or NTFS.  It will even transfer WIN98 system files to
make the card bootable, but you have to provide the boot files.

Bootable image file for Hard Drive Windows 7 Hi, How can I create a bootable image file for creating a bootable CD., is there a good third party software or can i do it from XP. When i try to create a bootable CD from Roxio (sonic) burning software, it ask's for image file. Regards, Windows XP just still use Ghost 2003. Ghost 2003 includes a DOS version, which runs off a bootable medium (floppy or DVD). It has all the drivers necessary to image a HDD (entire or partion) onto a bootable CD / DVD, USB drives, even to a network device, etc. I like it becauses it bc.ca Syberfix Remote Computer Repair has never been in bed with a mosquito." keywords: Bootable, image, file, for, Hard, Drive description: Hi, How can I create a bootable image file for creating a bootable CD., is there a good third party software or
Is Vista upgrade install disk bootable? Windows 7 Is Vista upgrade install disk bootable? Is Vista full version disk bootable? Do either one of these come in CD format or only in DVD format? I is too big for a CD; all disks are DVD-ROMs. The full versions are bootable. I'm almost sure that the upgrade DVD is bootable, too, but I've never had one so I can't be sure. Booting from Windows MVP (Running Windows Live Mail beta in Vista Ultimate x64) The upgrade disc is bootable.

You can order with 1 gig of memory. Built it myself. The Windows Vista "upgrade" DVD is not bootable. In order to install the upgrade version, you must have either Windows XP or 2000
