Duh!!

I forgot to Delete all partitions as step 4 clearly states in BOLD letters.

Now my 5 gig seagate is working perfectly.

Ok,  

One step I didn't realize was that I needed to install fdisk.

Once I did that, I was able to complete the steps in the walk through.

I then formatted the drive in windows and copied some files over to it to test.

Unfortanatly my zaurus still doesn't see any files on the card.  

I will try the steps a second time later but I am pretty sure I followed them exactly the first time.

The only thing I am not sure of is the Formatting.  I just formatted it in windows like I would any drive.  I did quick format Is this possibly the problem?

Thanks

Benny

Hi,

I have a 5500 flashed with the latest firmware from Sharp.  I have a 5 gb microdrive that the 5500 mounts but doesn't show me the file system.  It is formated fat32, is that the problem?  If so, is there a way to format it from windows to a linux partition that the 5500 will recognize?  

Thanks

Ben
