Not used my C3200 for a while and when I tried to switch it on I found it was dead...
The FN + D + M method got my into the diagnostic screen and everything there seems fine, trying to do a NAND restore now in the hope that will fix the problems I'm having but it claims there is no SYSC3200.DBK on my CF card (there is) and when I go into the testing menus to see if I can read or write to the CF card I get an error claiming there is no free space (there is plenty). I have tried 2 CF cards and both the same result but the CF card will mount just fine on both Mac and Windows computers. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks! |

Are the CF cards < 1GB and formatted as FAT?

QUOTE(dougeeebear @ Feb 18 2008, 10:24 AM)  Are the CF cards < 1GB and formatted as FAT? I have a 1gb card and a 8gb card, both worked before, formated as fat. Just walked up to a nice old win2k machine I have, formated the card as FAT16, copied the file back on and tried NAND restore and only difference now is that it takes longer before I get the error message saying "not exist file". I also tried backing up the present nand, just to see if the zaurus would talk to the cf card and I get an error claiming there is no free space. I was thinking maybe the card is fried but it works fine on Mac, wink2k and winxp UPDATE: I had a 512mb card which seems to be working ok, weird as I have used the 1gb one before.... Go figure. |

FWIW, I never had any problems flashing Cacko heavy on a c1000, despite the CF card being formatted FAT32 (I have seen may references to Fat32 formatting being a no-no). |

I discovered when flashing android that my 3200 was unable to flash off a CF card when there was an SD card in the slot - I left my 4GB non-hc sd card in the slot; removed it and it worked ok.
@puckman: be sure the card has a partition table - this is one of the most common problems people have with cards that have been formatted using windows. |

And make sure it's FAT16 and not FAT32.

that one caught me out for a while. |
