cf format problem

[korakios]

I have this problem:
every time i try to format the cf card the sp is hanged in the "press F3 to exit" or something..so i have to power off the sp. then i see that not all of the samples are erased and the samples that are not erased are crappy noise...
I tried to import-export samples ,delete one by one and it works fine...so i don't think this is a cf card problem...
had anyone the same problem?

Do you give it enough time when it says "press F3 to exit" ... cuz for me it'll say press f3 to exit but I have to wait a couple minutes until pressing f3 actually exits.... Never ran into problems beyond that tho

I'll give it a try...let's say 5 minutes...i believe it's enough time...thanks!

hahah yeah it is... damn man hope it works

I don't get it...the problem is gone...i let and forgot sampling a cd for 35 minutes,then i formatted the card and in 10 seconds it was ready...but i'm sure it will come up again anothertime...!
thanks Teework!
