Formatting CF drive

Hay guyz

So I have this 2.5 gb Seagate ST1 drive CF drive and I like... want to format it, but I can't because when I plug in the card reader and the CF drive into the USB card reader I get the Removable media drive under 'My Computer' But when I try and access it or otherwise try to do anything with it, it says there is no 'disk' in drive <pickone>

So I was thinking this might possibly be a problem with the currect filestructure implimented on the CF drive itself, considering I boosted it from an mp3 player I am going to assume that is has some warped fudged up filestructure that windows doesn't know about.

I was reading about CF drives with IDE requirements, could this be the problem?

Dear /comp/

How I format drive?

plug in usb drive

start menu -> control panel -> administrative tools -> computer management -> disk managment

see if it shows up there, and you can probably format it from there as well.

Didn't work. The USB CF drive reader was under Removable Storage - Libraries though... but I don't inject any media into it....

They probably made it inaccessible away from the mp3?

When my digital camera CF got 'corrupted' after I put exes on it, my digital camera couldnt read it or act as a medium for my computer to. So I got a printer and formatted it in there.

When was the last time you formatted it? Can you still put it back in the mp3 and format it from there?
