Hi All,

I've had a LD for several years and have been following the forums here for just as long.
I am finally at the point where I want to convert to a LifeFlash.

I think I have everything I need, except for a free Windows program to ghost my MD image onto my PC before I start the CF conversion. I wont attempt this until I am absolutely POSITIVE I can recover the MD image incase anything goes wrong. (Which in my case, seems to happen ALOT!..LOL)

Unfortunately, I'm a Windows guy, and have no programming/scripting experience with anything but. I'm not sure I want to even try Cygwin except as a last resort. Hence the request for something with a Windows GUI. (Free, because I'm broke.. :( )

Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated!
Thanx!

I believe there is a wiki link to how to do it. Someone would do it sort of for cheap but free is asking too much. You have to buy the right CF card and access to a linux computer, and be hand walked step by step. Also some of the problems with LifeFlash may be formidable even though your drive may be the safer method to continue with.

Read a lot of the forum and maybe if you weren't such a newbie someone might give you a hand. Furthermore Palm is getting to be a dead end maybe you might be better off getting a TX which the Price is dropping.....
