Can't see CF when iLiad is connected to PC

nigeldb · 06-14-2009, 08:12 AM

Hi dumb questions, but shoudl I be able to see the CF as a folder when my iLiad is connected to my PC. The iliad comes up as a separate drive with folders, Books, News, Outbox etc, but I can's seem to find the CF.

CF = Sandisk Ultra II 2GB.

Is the only option to remove the CF, connect to the PC and drop all the books into that?

Thanks for the help.

Please use "iLiad Settings"/"USB Connection" (it's page 3 or so) to choose which memory get's mounted to PC.
Internal memory is default setting.

Thanks Yokos,

I don't want to see either the internal memory OR the CF, I was hoping there was a way to see both so I can easily shift files between the two. Any ideas ?

You can't see both, just one at a time.

The options for moving files between them are:

1) Use a PC in the middle. IE, copy a file from the internal memory to a PC, then from the PC to the CF card.

2) Install the developers kit and load one of the third party file managers.

3) Something I haven't thought of.

Thanks to everyone, I now understand the limitations

I'll work on the suggestions and look at taking the plunge and downloading some of the developer software.
