Re: How to backup X-profile & IDEfile compact flash cards

Thanks for the reply.
I actually have no idea what defining parameters means, or how to do it!!!! Any advice how to do this under win2000?

I downloaded diskimage, and have been saving my CF's as raw files. When saving as a RAW file I get the prompt which ask if I want to save a truncated file...I'm assuming I say 'yes' here.
