The Kingston 4GB card is well known as being not compatible with the Amiga PCMCIA port.

That is the reason we sell test compatible cards here:

I second this, i have had quite a few of the kingston 4gb cards with the flower(non pro version) and find them hit and miss,some work fine, some are quite problematic.I avoid them now totally.

It is also worth noting that about 40% of the cf/sd cards sold on ebay are fakes or counterfeit. Heed this people, and buy cards from trusted shops. places like ebay and deal extreme etc are full of these fake cards for sale.
If its way cheaper than everyone else and seems too good to be true, it probably is.Spend a few more dollars and buy a good card and save yourself some headaches. Sandisk cards with the serial number on the card can be verified and registered on their site.

I bought  Sandisk card 256 and cf0: NDOs,   it begins bothers me :)

are you sure you have the correct fat95 installed and not the one for os4?
also, add the card reset patches in if you dont have them.

dont use the Commodore PREPCARD tools. they are essentially useless.

if you want to format the card from the amiga,just click the cf0:Ndos once and use the format from workbench menu,make sure to use quick format. it will be amiga dos formatted card then and not fat.

i suspect you need it working as FAT to move files though.
