6.2 Mounting and dismounting on Windows XP and Win-
dows Vista:
To avoid confusing the system or, worst case, end up with a CF-card
that was unintentionally erased, it is required to safely eject the card by
right clicking the icon in “My Computer” and select the “Eject” option.
On a Mac the card has to be un-mounted, by dragging it into the trash,
or selecting eject (command-e) in the “File” menu, or ejecting from the
Capture panel inside the Capture One software.
Just removing, and reinserting the CF card will confuse the system,
possibly resulting in uncontrolled read or write errors. If this happens,
restarting the computer can normally solve the problem.
Preparing the CF-cards or microdrives
Most CF cards or microdrives are pre-formatted and ready to be used
in the P 65+ back.
The P 65+ back supports CF cards formatted in either FAT 16 or FAT
32.
If your CF card is not recognized in the P 65+ back it is possibly due to
a wrong le system formatting on the card.
Mac HFS, UNIX or NTFS le systems are not supported by the P 65+
back, and cards with these le systems will not be recognized.
Card formatted with any of the above written will have to be re-formatted
in either FAT 16 or FAT 32 using a computer, Mac OS X or Windows.
