CF Image REstore on Audrey. PLEASE HELP!!

Ok...i tried reading thru all the threads looking for a reason I could not do this. My Audrey has been dead for months and i just recently purchased a CF Reader and card. Its a SIIG USB CF Reader and a Sandisk 32MB CF. THis is what ive done so far.
I downloaded Jukebox's Another QNX Image. I unzipped it to the c:\ on my Win2k machine. I downloaded mkcf from jayklm's page. I got a copy of ntrw.exe from some odd place on the net. I couldnt find Scythic's NTRW program anywhere.
On the AudreyHacking.com web page all I get is ntrw.c . When I try to compile that I get errors; somethign about HighPart and LowPart. So I follow the directions found here:
http://www.linux-hacker.net/cgi-bin/UltraBoard/UltraBoard.pl?Action=ShowPost&Board=3Com_Audrey&Post=903&Idle=&Sort=&Order=&Page=&Session=
That user also had a 32 meg Sandisk card so i was hoping teh size would be the same.
So I ran mkcf jukebox2.cf fixed.dsk 32112640
and it created that sized fixed.dsk
But when I try and run ntrw write fixed.dsk e: i get nothing. it just shows me this USAGE: NTRW file drive:

Whats wrong? Is it the ntrw.exe i have? can someone email me their ntrw and maybe a few instructions that may help?! THanks. email : erisbaz (at) hotmail (dot) com


ASLO!!!!!!! IF anyone has an image that includes a working caller id (ACID 2.0 maybe)..can you email me as well!? THanks

Download jayklm's image from www.audreyhacking.com files section. It has mkcf and ntrw v2.00 included as part of the zipfile.

thanks for the help..i got ntrw v2.00 and i thought i had done everything right. But i still get Invalid Image!
Once again..I am using Win2k. Heres what i do:
Download Jukebox's image (also tried UpdatewithShell.cf). After unzipping...
C:\>ntrw read backup.dat e:
NTRW v2.00
Removeable mediad
Cylinders: 0:3
TracksPerCylinder: 255
SectorsPerTrack: 63
BytesPerSector: 512
bufsize is 65536
32030720 bytes written0 bytes: 06384
ReadFile<>: backup.dat -- The parameter is incorrect.

then...

C:\>mkcf jukebox2.cf juke.dsk 32030720
Read file size of 16515072.
File checksum is ac070ec7.
Creating output file 'juke.dsk' of size 3203072...done!

then...

C:\>ntrw write juke.dsk e:
NTRW v2.00
Removeable media
Cylinders: 0:3
TracksPerCylinder: 255
SectorsPerTrack: 63
BytesPerSector: 512
bufsize is 65536
32030720 bytes written

So then I take it out my CF reader/write and put it in my unplugged Audrey. Then I hold the Datebook button and plug the power in. I then see...
FATAL: Invalid Image

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? Ive tried 3 different cf images.

I believe the correct size of the Sandisk is 32112640 when you mkcf. That's what I used.

If you know someone with another audrey have them copy the image from their Audrey (or one from the web) to your card. Try flashing with that. That will atleast prove if the problem is with the audrey itself or the procedure (cf writer etc). Don't know where you are located, but I'd be happy to put an image on your card if you can get it to me (by mail or whatever. I'm in GA)
