      Physdiskwrite gives me the following errors;

      Which disk do you want to write? (0..3) 3
      About to overwrite the contents of disk 3 with new data. Proceed? (y/n) y
      24576/122441728 bytes writtenWrite error after 24576 bytes.

      I am doing this on a Windows Vista computer with a built-in CF socket, could that possibly be the problem?

      Thanks

        It could be a bad CF card - do you have any others to test with?

          @Cry:

          Yes, I have 2 and both give the same error.  I also redownloaded the image and still no change.

          Thanks

            It "could" be the CF adaptor.
            We had at our university a problem with a CF reader where it was impossible to address memory above 1GB….

            We do what we must, because we can.

              I've also seen problems where particular brands of cards don't work in a particular brand of adapter, but other brands do.  So far I've not had any problems with the Crucial (Micron) brand of cards in any adapter.
