The new version you sent me seems to have worked thanks. By this I
mean I just get a new command line prompt after issuing the above

It formatted the flash drive, without error.

Ok.

(with 1GB/1076) set.

My arithmetic makes that 1048. The specified size should not exceed the
capacity of the flash drive.

The previous format seemed to be a DOS partition however as deleting
it required me to quit GuardDD (from the PC card installation).

Sorry, I know nothing about GuardDD or the PC card.

GuardDD just protects against DOS partitions being deleted as PCPro
requires a partition for Windows98.

How is this different?

Different to what? Does the formatted drive behave correctly with both
RISC OS and Windows? ie can you read/write from both platforms, and can
you see the same file, from both platforms?

Well I thought the point was to format the drive in a way different to
its factory setting - which didn't allow the files to show on both
platforms but could be recorded upon by both.
