iLiad only sees CF half the time

splat · 01-25-2007, 05:12 AM

I wonder can tell me if this is normal or not, I'm guessing not, and whether there is any solution.

I've a bog standard SanDisk 256mb Compact Flash card (formatted fat32) which I am using with the iLiad to store my documents on it.

The problem I am having is that pretty much one out of every 2 - 3 reboots the iLiad will fail to see the card (either after removing the card or not). I am required to turn off the iLiad, remove the card reinsert it and power on again.

Are any of the other storage card formats more reliable?

Ive been relying on an 1GB Sandisk SD card for a good few months now and ive had no problems reading it.

Please see here for supported memory cards

I've got the exact same CF card and have the same problem, which only started happening relatively recently. Haven't tried swapping in a different CF card because I haven't got one.

Going by the Memory Card List it looks like 256Mb cards seem to be the most hit and miss support wise.
