I would be so grateful if anyone could assist me with this issue.

This is the second time I have tried using a CF card with my Iliad. The first time I gave up after having problems getting the card to be read by the Iliad.

This time I have bought Kingston 2GB CF card for use with the Iliad.

When I placed the card in first of all, the device seemed to read it straight-away, coming up with the text saying 'Free:' and then displaying the free space available.

So, I copied a PDF onto the CF card and rebooted the Iliad. It failed to display the PDF file and failed the read the card.

I tried to reformat the CF card in case that was the problem. I had read somewhere that FAT32 was the correct structure to implement so I tried that.

Same thing happened again. Copied the PDF and now getting nothing come up on the Iliad.

I really wanted to get a CF card working so that I could install some applications on my Iliad. I am now giving up hope of being able to use the CF memory storage.

I have a 1 GB MMC card currently in the Iliad - could this make any difference?

Would be so appreciative of any assistance with this.

Daedalus.
