Hi Helmut, Sorry for the problems. No real good ideas here, but assuming the Win 7 VM is on the same Gentoo machine then it appears to be something missing from Gentoo. I'd start by using the Win 7 disk tools: Control Panel -> System & Security -> Create & format hard disk partitions and look to see what Win 7 believes it's talking to. Also, make sure if you have the VM running that it isn't automatically mounting the Garmin which would make the SD unavailable to Linux. Handle that in the Virtualbox->Device menu. Best of luck. Sounds like an interesting problem, if that's possible. Cheers, Mark
