Why would anyone want to do that? Unless using the card for transferring other data. For camera use, just stick it in a camera, format it, and bingo. I regularly reformat the cards as well, on the 10D. Just to keep them clean. >> On Wednesday, May 28, 2003, at 03:21 PM, Glyn Davies wrote: >> >> Taking this one step further, I am using my microdrives with my new >> Canon >> 10D and I can't erase any images from the drive using my ibook laptop >> (OS >> 9.2), I can only copy.

I'm sure they'd read fine in OS9 as well. Just format the cards in the camera - there is no need or desire to format them from the computer. regards Paul -- Paul Tansley Fashion & Beauty Photography London +44 (0) 7973 669584 http://www.paultansley.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
