Hi All

I’m trying to get a DL1 mk2 to work that came with my car. All lights are working but can’t get a Run file saved on the CF card. Reading online I suspect it’s a card formatting issue. I’m using partition wizard to format the cards to FAT16 but no luck yet.

Has anyone successfully used win10 to format and if so could they help please?

Best

Yes , I have . A few times
Make sure it is a 2GB card otherwise you may have problems
Search the topic , there are a few discussions about this

Despite the Win10 GUI indicating is it formatting to FAT16, the Windows 10 native GUI formats to a newer FAT16 LBA, which the legacy DL1 devices do not recognize. To be technically precise, the legacy DL1s are looking for 0x06 FAT16 where Windows 10 formats to 0x0E FAT16 (LBA).

I did find that most aftermarket partition managers can still format to legacy FAT16. One of my fav free versions, MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition 10.3, properly formatted the card such that my Mk2 would write to it:

Using this program I am able to successfully write to a CF card that had previously been formatted using the Windows 10 GUI.

As noted, I am using v10.3, cannot offer experience on a later one (no need to upgrade if this one works fine...)
