Such an issue has been endlessly debated in here.

Start with the very first rule out of all: DON'T use 1GB CF cards with the 2kxl. Go for 512MB or less. If the problem insists, then it has to be your card reader.

Yep, I figured that out and went that same route years ago.

But computer living has gotten many spoiled and want the biggest of everything, but that actual goal is to just make
some music. People are forgetting that and letting "bigger is better" rule there thinking.

I think the case isn't the 1gb card. There is some kind of malfunction in my card reader - when I insert the cf-card into the reader and do it so the card doesn't swang at all, the reader doesn't recognize it. When I move it a little bit in the reader - I guess ya'll know SMC's readers, there is a little space in the slot so the card can be moved a little though it's still inserted - then it recognizes it.

And the 1gb issue isn't valid also because both of the cards worked with 2k xl for half a year.

I use a 4gb card and i don't have any problems at all.Although i can only use 1gb of it for now but it works so i can't complain.

Just sounds like the reader bro.
