Using PC Formatted Compact Flash Adapter

[PlymWS]

I've just dug out my A1200 after finding it in my loft.  I have a Toshiba THNCF128MMA PCMCIA adapter with a 128MB compact Flash card.

The card has been formatted by XP and is blank.  When I use Prepcard to try and format the card I get an error "Unable to prepare card: Error while writing changes"

The drive does not appear on the Workbench desktop as PC0:

It's been a while since I used my A1200.  Could someone please refresh my memory as to how I can get a PC card to be recognised by Workbench.  I am a bit rusty but I'm sure it will all come flooding back with a little help

It's formatted as a FAT disk on the PC side.  I take it crossdos (or whatever the bundled program is) won't recognise it.

How could I get the files I need over to the Amiga ?  At the moment this is the only way I have of transferring files to the Amiga.

Thanks Chain.  As it happens I have found another solution whilst searching.

I will connect the A1200 hard drive to my PC using a 44-40 pin adapter.  I will then, according to the FAQ I read!, be able to access the drive through Amiga Forever as if it were in the A1200.

Then I can copy across all the files I need from my PC which will work out a lot better than using the CF adapter.

Thanks for your help.
