I have hacked an MSN thin client workstation to boot from a CF card. Only thing I cannot seem to get done is the format of the CF card itself. I have a second PC running Windows 2000 Pro and I have a 256MB CF casrd with a USB multicard adaptor. (11 to 1 type).

I've tried all the remedies I've seen so far but I cannot seem to get a boot image of anything on this card. I'd get the one sold on the web site but I see they are configured as HDA2. Is it possible to get one that will boot?

Thanks!
Ronny

I don't see why it can't function as a normal usb storage device. Maybe try another usb card adapter?
