6000 Dm Menu Won't See Cf Card, (512MB pny 40x CF card) Options

[speculatrix]

OK, so I borrowed this 512MB cf card, it had 200MB space, so I tried to do a nand backup.

the Z reported, from the DM menu when I tried CF backup: "can not initialise CF".

so I repartioned the card, to wipe it clean, formatted as fat32, and tried again. same result.

tried putting the syst0006.dbk file onto the card, and nand restore says the same thing.

anyone got any guesses?

thanks
Paul

Hello

Try with another card. Your 64M should be enough for a nandbackup (which will completely fill it).

Try to fdisk it by hand under your zaurus - d to delete every partition, n to create a new big primary partition, t to toggle it to type b (fat 32). Then mkfs.vfat it

It should work. The new .dbk for the latest version is ready and currently running on my Z :-) If you can wait until sunday when I can upload it

This is great news. Not to disparage other efforts, but I think guylhem's rom is the best all around for sl-6000. It's the perfect blend of an efficient, utilitarian interface with sophisticated and well-designed technical underpinnings. The current version is very stable, touchscreen independent... and I can't wait to try out the new one. Thanks guylhem!
