Tried luck today, same effect. But, palmusers had a same problem, and they overrun it: http://howto.wikia.com/wiki/Howto_replace_..._Palm_LifeDrive Reformatting/repartitioning a cf card should do the trick, but i have no cf adapter to try it out. Also, repartitiong would hurt card space (8gb CF will bedome a 6gb if i think good) but it's still good to try. Remember to dump sony's drive before doing it with a drive backup program (copying will not dump partition tables and MBR). Necroposting.. ;D
