It seems like my CF card suddenly has got corrupted 🙁
I am running it as main drive for my 486 setup with DOS 6.22, and it has up until now run flawlessly.

I keep getting errors like in the screenshot below. Pressing Retry a few times gets passed it, but there are other scenarios where it fails to load the data.

I have tried ”resetting” it by recreating the partitions in FDISK and then formatting them, but with no luck.

Are there any tools than can fix it? I tried running NDD but that didn’t anything…

You should copy all important data from this CF to another one with another computer and a card reader. Sometimes cheap CF cards can die quite fast. I have done this error on some camera CF cards. what brand is it ?
