Solution 1, contact CF manufacturer for tools to mark CF as fixed.
Solution 2. dig up DOS from somewhere and use fdisk to set partition as
active.

I canīt set an ntfs partition as active on a 512MB compact
flash. Iīve tried with diskmanager in both XP pro and W2K.
I also did a fruitless effort with diskpart but understood
later that this program canīt handle removable
devices..."sigh"

Help appreciated

PS I had an active partition on this CF before i started
to mess with it...
