You could create the file system using

mkdosfs -F 16 /dev/<your_dev>

on any PC running Linux.

For a Windows PC, I&#39;m not sure they give you the option of creating a FAT16 filesystem, though there may be some utilities that will do it...

wentao is right, most CF cards come fully formatted already.
