I tried via the shell, but format told me there were already partitions on hda, and configure told me it was already configured. I've therefore brushed the dust off the Mac, and Lonnie's script is now running, so thanks for the advice, and thanks to Lonnie for the script. Who would've thought it would take three OSs to delete a CF card? Cheers Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
