I have a 256 MB CF card that is dedicated exclusivly to my music files. I have noticed that my device seems to think that 1/2 of my memory is being used when it isn't. I have erased everything but my device still only shows 100 megs avalible. Is there any way to reformat this thing using just my ppc?

Any help you offer will be appreciated as I have grown accustomed to carying 50+ songs in my pocket! :(

You all have inspired me to look deep within....Google for the answer, as I did not get many/any responses :lol:

All I needed to do was re-format my Compact flash card. I downloaded an evaluation version of CNetx 's Flash Format and everything was back to normal.

Thanks for teaching me how to fish guys!

A bit late Ipaqman, but I had the same problem some time ago. I formatted my CF card in my card reader and it's been fine ever since.

Strangely, I've never had the problem since, just that one time so I don't really know what the cause was.

I use my card for music files too, as well as eBooks.
