Here's a quick one!
Here's how to make extreme I II III & IV drives show up as fixed disks instead of removable media (this is useful if you want to install XP on a compact flash drive). Keep in mind this is only for sandisk...
1) Find (google) ATCFWCHG.COM
1) Find (google) ATCFWCHG.COM
2) Attach the CF card to your computer in such a way that you can see it from a DOS boot disk. I did it using a CF to ide adapter - you may have luck with a USB adapter if you read up some on the internets and figure out to get DOS to support it
3) Make a dos boot disk and boot to dos
4) browse to the directory with the .Com and run atcfwchg /P /F
5) If it says PASS, you're good.

Hey there
I hope you can help - been trying to find the ATCFWCHG.COM tool for ages as a last ditch effort to be able to switch the mode of a CF card - Ironically i need to switch it to removeable so it'll work as a slave drive, otherwise I've just blown a load of cash for nothing.
Any chance you might be able to email me it as asamkv at gmail dot com?
Would be very grateful!
Sorry, I'm not going to send files I didn't make. Try google:
