I lied, I did do something else, tried using one of the cards HW sent to me, one I never expected to get in the mail, but I did not format, just replaced the kn.bin file. Different results, as mentioned in another message and also as mentioned, I think I may never be able to upgrade again unless there is some revisions made to the boot loader file that need to be changed. See other message for details. My hunch is that something unobtrusive went awry with the 7.0 upgrade that is preventing the upgrade process.

I am getting exactly the same as you, using a flashcard (formatted and reformatted) that is perfectly readable and useable on the BN, etc etc etc. Whatever I do, boot loader or no boot loader (even if it's not needed) just the same old flashcard error. There is absolutely no use in people keeping on posting the same instructions over and over again - they don't work. I'm leaving any more messing around until we get some sensible answers from HumanWare. I wouldn't be bothering with the patch upgrade if I hadn't experienced some of the problems listed in the fixes. Hope you have the patience to wait till this is sorted, Rose. If it ain't broke then don't fix it is probably the best advice I can give if you're already up and running with a stable version. Wioth best wishes, Dennis Freedman. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rose Combs Sent: 07 July 2006 16:38 To: 'Braillenote List' Subject: RE: [BrailleNote] some concerns with 7.01 installation Thank you from a user who has seen about 50 SD card errors in the past 24 hours. Rose Combs [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joseph Lee Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 8:25 PM To: 'Braillenote List' Subject: [BrailleNote] some concerns with 7.01 installation Dear list members, particularly HumanWare staff, This is Joseph. I have some concerns with KeySoft 7.01 installation and related documents. HumanWare released KeySoft 7.01 earlier this week. The problems that were experienced by many users e.g. downloading issue, has been fixed. The documentation on installation of KeySoft 7.01 lists the features and problems that were fixed by this maintenance release. Although number of users were successful in installing KS7.01, many users expressed that they were not able to install it successfully. BrailleNote and VoiceNote mPower users in particular experienced this issue. A number of users were confused about whether they should boot to bootloader first, or whether they should boot to ROM image. Some people said that the bootloader isn't needed (according to one of HumanWare staff, the bootloader is updated with KeySoft 7.0, meaning that the bootloader is unnecessary). The documentation states nothing about installing the patch properly. It just states, "you can skip the instructions on how to install KeySoft 7.0." This meant that the user needs to boot to the bootloader. The zip file that was posted to the KeySoft 7.01 page did not have the bootloader file called eboot.bin. Here is my concern: if HumanWare staff didn't post the bootloader file, then the documentation should have stated some changes to installation procedures. The second issue that a number of users has expressed is that certain users cannot upgrade using their SD cards. One user reported that she gets SD card error when upgrading. One suggestion was to format the SD card from the Prepare SD Card for Upgrade program, which is found on KeySoft System Disk\Windows folder. Even doing that still results in the same error. My concern is this: what is going on with these SD cards? Are there any solutions for these SD card errors? My points are: one, please give us the proper installation procedures for KS7.01 (whether the bootloader file is required or not, and what the user must do first when upgrading from KeySoft 7 to 7.01), and, two, pleass tell us what is going on with so called "SD Card error." I would like to apologize if this post became long and it is out of bounds.
