Unless you are having an issue with it there is no need to format the card. I have over the years purchaed more cards than I wish to remember. For smartphones, a camera, and now a reader. I have never formatted any of the cards.
Having said that I would say Fat32 since it handles sizes that would require Fat32. You can always format again if there is an issue. Again I would leave it alone and just use it. Last edited by timezone; 09-28-2008 at 07:15 PM. |

Hallo, I bought also CF Kingston Elite Pro 133x 4 Gb for my Iliad. I didn't format it, just copy files from computer using USB CardReader and putted in Iliad. All was ok until I got "writing error" by next copying files into CF and lost all of them. I tried formated CF in FAT32 with standart Windows utils, but after it Iliad didn't understand this CF. As I found, this ist well known issue but without official solution.
So, I don't advise anybody format his CF if it works without any "writting errors" and etc. P.S. If you like to do some experiments or have above described problems, I can advise "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool". After formatting with this program my problem was resolved. |
