                  Well, I installed a competing tool and found my CF-Card corrputed after defragmentation. Since then I use Flashformat as a registered user. Never got any problems. Nice tools. Works as advertised...

                  With so many music, video and third-party software programs available for the Pocket PC, it does not take long to accumulate a number of storage cards. Flash Format makes it easier to manage all these cards. It tells you the amount of storage space in use or free on any card. It also tells you how many files and folders are on the card. If you tap on the "Advanced" tab, it gives you information about the file system, including the number of heads and cylinders in the storage card. It can search a storage card for any corrupt clusters and repair those clusters if there are any. Also, it allows you to specify a file on any storage card to be auto-executed whenever the storage card is inserted into your Pocket PC's card slot.

                  It doesn't happen often, but occasionally it's necessary to re-format. The Pocket PC does not have a built-in utility to do this, but Flash Format does. You can use it to format CompactFlash and Secure Digital cards, Memory Sticks, rotating-disk drives such as the IBM Microdrive and more. You can choose among the three file systems while formatting a card: FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32. The most efficient file system to choose is FAT32 as it can provide you with more storage space. However, some digital cameras and non-Windows systems will only accept a CompactFlash card formatted with the FAT12 or FAT16 allocation. You can also select the cluster size (between 512 Bytes and 32KB). You can create a Backup FAT and verify the format. You can add a My Documents folder to the storage card and add digital camera support to the storage card.
