Just formatting it won't make it work on the mac--you need to run
DriveSetup to get it to be usable as a device, especially if you want to
boot from it. (I'm using a 256meg unit in my 5300c as a startup
device--I'll go to 1 gig soon as I see a rebate on a CF--those things can
be costly! :) )
Re: using it in your camera again, there's some "master header"
blocks--forget what they're called--that got wiped when you formatted the
CF on the Mac. Put the CF into a PC if one is available and do a device
format there--it should work again in your camera.
