This will copy the first 2k of the card and put it in a file. file will then tell you what it thinks it is.
Thanks for this explanation. It didn't work though. For /dev/sda it gives "dd opening '/dev/sda1': no such device or address.
For /dev/sda it gives:
" dd: reading '/dev/sda': Intput/output error 0+0 records in 0+0 records out "
Idea's?
You formatted it in windows. What version of windows? Is it XP? IIRC this default to a variant of NTFS and you will need a seperate package to read it.
No, it's windows 98 se. I suspect it's fat because the "disk" is only 256 MB.
