  Hi,
  
  Long time rack user here 😀 Had 3 but sold the last one DSP 4500 during Covid.
  
  Couldn’t live with one so just bought a H80000FW 😀
  
  Updated the firmware OK using the flash card 4Gig. Reformatted the card hoping to use it to store presets but when saving I can’t select the card as an option?
  
  Any help or reason why this is the case?
  
  Thanks Chris

  I assume you mean you are using a CF card with a PCMCIA adapter? My initial intuition The H8000 is very picky about the formats of the CF card; we recommend only using the format that the card is programmed with out of the box (FAT16, with certain flags set), but most OS’s don’t support FAT16 formatting easily. I would suggest trying a tool like gparted (https://gparted.org/ ) to format the drive as FAT16. Note: that tool will just as happily format your hard drive, so exercise care.
