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
