Microdrive problem
« on: October 09, 2008, 08:47:46 PM »
I bought a 6GB Hitchi c/f microdrive last year and it has now stopped working & fails to format, can anyone suggest a cure? I'vve tried emailing Hitachi but have had no reply. I would like to get it working again as up until now it has been a very fast, reliable cf card  in my Fuji S9600 Zoom in fact O got a full 2 hour video onto it.I work in IT  normal FormatDOS & Windows commands don't work with external drives. note to moderator is there a problems section on this board? If so I can't find it.
