Well, my concern now isn't so much about the 7.1 upgrade, I can manage
without it as I don't have the really concerning battery issues, I get
amazingly good battery life in fact, and I can deal with the download issues
and don't set many alarms any longer, but my concern is that since I cannot
do this particular upgrade now, I may not be able to do future upgrades
either.  

By the way, to HumanWare staff, when I do the 4,6 or 4,5 reset the version I
get is 1.8 on the 32 display and the version I get on the 18-cell is 1.6.  

Then I get the SD card error whether I select boot loader or update from the
resulting menu.  

This may be helpful too.

Rose,
Although I don't have my mPower (I didn't install 7.01 yhet), I didn't
experienced any problems with the bootloader when I upgraded to 7.0 in June
(I used my own PNY 256 MB SD card).

If that is so, how come I am still getting errors on two cards I definitely
ran the prepare utility on, one which I had used last spring to get the 7.0
upgrade before I knew it would be mailed, and one just out of its package,
and run on the prepare utility.  All three cards are readable on the BN as
well as the computer?  

Yes, I know, I am bugging you Jonathan , but I am not the only person having
my problems.  I still have a hunch it relates to something that did not go
right with the bootloader, as nothing happened when I installed 7 and used
the 1-2 with the reset button as the instructions on the web site and in my
package later seemed to tell me to do.  

Anyone else having the problems, especially the SD card error, did you also
have a problem with the boot file in January or whenever you did 7.  At the
time since the installation went without a hitch I thought nothing of it but
hindsight tells me this may be where the problem could exist.  I am not a
programmer, just tossing it out there to see if maybe I can intuit my way to
helping get a solution--as this seems to be something I have done in the
past at work and at home.  

It may be worth a though at least.

Hi Jim, I suspect that what has happened in this case is that you received a
card that was, in fact, not prepared correctly. HumanWare did send a bunch
of these out and we apologise for this. When the unit goes dead like that,
it suggests that the SD card is formatted with FAT 32, not FAT 16 as is
necessary. We did post a message about this when we discovered the error a
few months back, but if you had already installed, it may not have been
important to you at the time. So if you run the Prepare SD card for upgrade
utility on this card, you should find it works just fine. Hope this helps.
