Hi,

Since you mentioned CardTricks, I suppose you have seen this thread ?

Does CardTricks detect "File System: FAT32" ? That would explain it:

CHDK (which is for Canon P&S only) can not boot from FAT32, so CardTricks will say:
"CHDK Autorun OFF"

Hacks for DSLR are not CHDK, and can boot from FAT32, so CardTricks will say:
"CF boot ON"

Hope that makes it a little clearer,

wim
