I am trying to move files between a current Windows 7 computer and a vintage Gateway Handbook 486 using a CF card in a PCMCIA adapter. This is what I am encountering:
1. Install the PCMCIA/CF card in the Gateway Handbook.
2. Initialize the card using ATAINIT and format.
3. Copy files from hard drive to CF; files copy and can read/write.
4. Move PCMCIA/CF card to Windows 7 computer.
5. Windows 7 computer says that PCMCIA/CF is not formatted and cannot be read.
6. Format PCMCIA/CF in Windows 7 computer as FAT.
7. Move PCMCIA/CF card to Gateway Handbook.
8. Repeat Step 3.
9. Repeat Step 4, and, again, Windows 7 says that the card is not formatted.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
