A little advice on IDE compactflash formatting

[Marcb]

Not sure if this will help you or not but the way I approached it was to use Winuae to partition it and format the partitions then installed it onto the 1200 and it recognises the full 4gb.

(make sure you launch Winuae
with : "-disableharddrivesafetycheck" option!)

Good Luck,

The CF I'm using in the 1200 formatted quickly , I bought another, partitioned it exactly the same but 2 hours later only 33% through formatting the 1st 1gb partition I cancelled out.

Both 4gb, same brand, it's driving me nuts!
