Subject: Re: [mh] Audrey setup question...  Suggestions?

I am in the same boat as the OP on this. I have 2 compact flash cards... one
that is a non-sandisk 32 meg and a 256 meg. I am running windows XP.

I have tried and tried but can't get past the "Fatal: invalid image" error
on the left side of the screen
I did try using th dd program as well.. I searched the net for a running
castenet server to at least get a shell...
Nothing is working for me. Anyone have any suggestions???
