Post by: georgeh on December 27, 2006, 09:35:56 AM

As usual, forgive my ignorance. I am a waiting my P2, sceduled for delivery today... I was just playing with my flash card reader for cpu, I hooked it up via usb, with a 8gb card
The cpu see's it fine, i "draggd" a file over and then deleted it, fine.
what software is recommended for formatting?

That's what I usually do with my 'P2. Generally only takes about 10-15 seconds to format on the 'P2. When I need to move the files to a computer, I plug the 'P2 into my Powerbook via Firewire. I do have a card reader I can use if need be; but I use the Firewire connection primarily for transfers.

thanks
I say some sortware for formating and I wasn't sure if i should use it. I did format via the P2 and it worked fine
