I'm still waiting for my Sinpletech cards from Dell. I suggest you try to reformat it in FAT. It might be in FAT32 out of the box.

Some folks have gotten that error if the entered the CF Registration code incorrectly. You may want to double check that if you haven't tried another card that has worked for you.

Also, make sure that the EruWare ID you sent them was in the correct case as it is case sensitive.

Hope this helps.

Yep, sounds like a registration error... SimpleTech cards are very good and rival more expensive cards in MOST devices. There are some capatability issues with some devices, but this is true of most CF cards...

I concur that it's most likely a registration problem, as there have been a few having the same issues. If it was a formatting issue it would come up as unrecognized format and try to offer to format it, but format is not supported at this time.
