Customer just brought me the Sandisk from their DX-80, and the card seems totally fried. I have an identical sandisk they could use, but it is of course blank. Is there a special script or master image I can run to make the card bootable to the DX-80? Their card had 8.5.11b software, which I don't have the image for. I believe the VM software resides on the C: drive of the card but there is another partition, D:, that stores the boot loader (at least that was the case with Debut).

You can find it on the CCC website.

RBF, are you sure it's on the CCC? I seem to remember having this conversation (or reading it) in a previous thread, only to find that what was on the CCC was nothing more than the upgrade, to get from 8.5.108 to 8.5.11B.

Tech support told me that Verticle comdial does not support loading a new flash because some pc's have issues formating and booting the drive. He would not say you couldn't do it, just that they are not allowed to support or discuss ways of doing it. I have not been successful with it, but I only tried once. Mark

I've done it a couple times, but only on CF cards that came with the voicemail board. I've never tried on other cards.

I thought there was an article about using norton ghost to do an image transfer to another cf card. I did use an old pc and a cf to ide adapter to copy the files from the original flash to a 1 gig flash card, so I know it's doable.

I think that worked from an old win 98 machine, had something to do with the boot record, or something like that. There just doesn't seem to be a cut and dry "this will work" arrangement to make a new flash card from a store bought sandisk, at least if there is, I haven't found it. And it needs to work on the new machines we use, not an old door stop.

Mark, had you tried that utility I had sent you? It's worked for me, after I blanked an existing CF. But like I said, I've not yet tried a store-bought CF. It might make a difference if it's CFII, instead of CF.

I tried it on a new sandisk 512 CF with no luck, that was my only attempt. Mark

I have done it - the CF must be formatted to a standard FAT file system. And the utility available on CCC will install all the files in the right places. The customer I done this with was F32 software release.
