Formatting the Compact Flash Card with the FAT16 Format
These steps describe the steps needed to reformat your Compact Flash (CF)
card to the FAT16 format, which will decrease the time it takes to ”boot” or
start up. The FAT16 format will check all the file entries in less time than the
FAT32 format.
When you format the CF, a warning will appear that indicates that the
format may not be compatible with older versions of Windows because of
the large allocation size. The data that will be stored on the CF is a small
enough amount that you do not need to be concerned about the file storage
inefficiency.
Follow these steps to format the CF card with the FAT16 format:
1. Select the Start menu.
2.
Right click the
My Computer
icon and then select the Manage option
( Figure 190 ). The Computer Management dialog will then appear.

3. Select the Disk Management option under the Storage menu.
4. Right click the CF, when it appears, and then select the Format option
(
Figure 191 on page 280 ).
