How to format a compact-flash card with NTFS (8 GB or above)

[Charles Gardiner]

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.
