Can anyone tell me how to format a compactflash card to ext2 on using Windows XP pro. Thanks[span style=\'font-size:25pt;line-height:100%\'][/size][size=24][/span]

It can\'t be done without buying commercial software.

Why? Why not use your Z?

Would that be#mkfs.ext2 /dev/compactflash

lardman · « **Reply #3 on:** May 06, 2004, 04:18:53 pm »

mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda1

Is that the same for the sl-6000? /hda1

Do I need fdisk installed first?

If it absolutely has to be done on Windows, you could use PartitionMagic. (but it\'s commercial, like lardman said)

No you don\'t need fdisk, but mkfs.* sometimes/always(?) comes with fdisk. So if you don\'t have mkfs then find fdisk on killefiz and you\'ll get mkfs.ext2 too.

# Unpack if you haven\'t done so already.
# Don\'t forget the \'p\' switch, or you\'ll get wrong permissions.
./gnu-tar -C debroot -xvzpf zaurus-debian-*.tgz ...... Does anyone know what the \'p\' sitch means. I\'m logged in as root {su} but it still comes up permission denied.
