Hi, I've just installed the vailixi 3.50 in my mpc 3000 that is connected with an external card reader.

Wich is the best way to format a smart card?

I see there's few option..

My goal is to be able to have 1 giga of sounds in the card with no partitions, put the card in the card reader and load from the mpc the stuff that I like from the card..!

Is it possible?

you are not going to get a great amount of answers off people on here as you are clearly using a hacked copy of 3.5OS

short answer is - No.

partitions of a max 28/30ish meg is all you are gonna get.

max space you can format on ANY card is 780 meg IN a load of 28ish meg partitions.

pick hybrid partitions when formatting with 3.5os - that way your partitions can be seen on a computer (if you use a good quality US CF reader with the computer).

make sure to have multi sector off in scsi options

hard level option.

Heads up warning:

If using hybrid partitions in Vailixi with a plan to then put that CF card into your computer, just remember to keep all your naming to 8 characters or under.

Your PC or Mac will automatically truncate all files to 8 characters as soon as you access the partitions on your card!

When you then stick that card back into your 3000 you'll find that all files that were over 8 chars are now corrupt.
