Compact Flash Writer?

Here's a question... how do you write to a compact flash card?

I bought one of those Kodak picture frames from Compugeeks for my mom for Christmas. I have a spare 8MB CF card that I thought I'd use to carry pictures on to her house where I would download them into the frame or leave the card in the frame. Needless to say I want to be able to put photos taken from my digital camera that I've downloaded onto my hard disk onto the CF card.

I thought I could do this through my digital camera, but after trying to do so a while I don't think the camera will let you transfer files from your hard disk to your CF card.

Will a CF reader also let you transfer photos to the CF? If not, how can this be accomplished?

The CF readers like the Sandisk install like a removable drive. So you should be able to drag and drop fine and add and remove images on the CF card.
 
I bought a MicroTech CamerMate USB to do just this. And I can't get it to work, so I'd advise against it.🙁 It seems to mess up the data -- If I copy a readable image to the CF, it's unreadable when copied back... still prodding their techsupp for an MRA.

So, some "readers" are also writers? I'm about to be in the replacement market I fear.

To Windows, CF readers are simply removable drives... so you will be able to copy and remove files to/from your CF card just like a normal floppy or harddrive...
