Share your knowledge on these two classic MPCs

when I format my CF card, 512 mb, with MPCeditor's XP format feature, so XP can read and write to the disk, I get something weird.

after the format is done, the size of the disk is only 32 MB.

when I format on the MP, the size is broken down in multiple partitions of 32 MB, just the way I like it, but then XP can't see the disk.

how can I fix this???

Covered before in this very forum:

1: The MPC60/MPC3000 disk format and partition scheme is not compatible with MAC/WIN/DOS/LINUX/UNIX type operating systems.

2: The MPC-EDITOR creates one "SAFE CROSS PLATFORM DISK FORMAT & PARTITION" that can be used for file transfer purposes between MPC60/MPC3000 and MAC/WIN/DOS/LINUX/UNIX type operating systems.

3: Use a 32 MEGABYTE CF card as transfer media between computer and MPC60/MPC3000.

4: Leave your 512 MEGABYTE card in native MPC60/MPC3000 format.

5: Use the MPC-EDITOR to export onto the 32 MEGABYTE CF card.

6: Load from this 32 MEGABYTE CF card into your MPC60/MPC3000.

7: Switch to your 512 MEGABYTE CF card and save the previously loaded data onto a selected partition.
