Has anyone try using a Microdrive on KM5D before?

I got hold of one today and try it. Can take photos and play back. But when connect to PC (via camera and card read), can't access the DCIM folder, saying folder is corrupted or unreadable. Did anyone face the same problem before?

Formatting the card doesn't help.

Hmm, does KM5D supports Microdrive in the first place?
 

KM5D does supports Microdrive, I am using a seagate photo harddisk on my 5D, after shooting like 10+ Gigabytes already, so far encounter 2 (different) problems only (like cannot read on computer but can read on camera, camera cannot write any more image on it although it suppose still have space, but show 0000), but all photos can be retrieved so far, speed not too bad also.

It just seem not very stable to me though. On the safe side, just got myself another 4 Gbytes of CF card, just in case I need it :sweat:
 

Oh... I think I'd made a mistake.
The one I used was a Seagate Compact Flash Photo Hard Drive. I thought it is the same as a microdrive.

Seems like can't really use it on the KM5D.
 

i just got one photodrive from seagate, 4gb. photodrive and microdrive are one and the same, both are miniture harddisks if i m not mistaken.
doesnt seem to have any problems on my 5D
 

using one also... No problem for me so far....
