If a fake flash drive is a concern, use H2TestW as mentioned here. http://fightflashfraud.wordpress.com/2008/11/24/h2testw-gold-standard-in-det...
If the drive's good, it should work with no errors. If it's burned with a fake capacity, it'll let you know what the real capacity was.
Also, if the drive is not fake but has a defect, it'll catch that too. I have had several Sandisk MicroSD cards go bad and H2TestW reminds me that the corruption problems aren't my fault, it's the card's... zowie!

Sorry to chase this rabbit trail, but my search of the wiki http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home for the procedure you mention didn't return any results. Can someone kindly point this n00b in the right direction?

Jim, That is the way I crested mine. It is the procedure described in the
wiki.
Thanks, David
