Formatting a compact flash card

[eTiger13]

Without buying a reader for my computer, is there any way to format a compact flash card while it is plugged into my iPaq? I bought the card used and I think it has some kind or virus or script that keeps putting a file called ignore_my_documents on the card and also in various other folders on the device.


Even though the compact flash reader adapters for the computer say reader, do they also write to the card or do i have to get one that says writer? i think i know but i want to make sure before i buy one.

If you can't get the above to work go to Handango and search for storgaetools - all one word and download from there.
