Questions about writing to CF
-
Got this error message: 3816529920 bytes writtenWrite error after 3816529920 bytes (8192).
Is this going to cause issue?
Why am I getting this issue, is it related to Windows or my CF card?
Should I be OK just using a 2GB image instead?Trying to write the 4GB image to a 4GB Kingston CF Elite Pro.

Thank you for the reply, I used the 2GB image and it seems to be good.

Your CF manufacturer actually made a bit smaller card than 4GB or one reason is that manufacturers define 4GB differently. In this forum we're already discussed this same thing over and over again.
