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.
