Hi Shaz,
I just had an idea, but it could be a stab in the dark, so please
excuse me if I'm barking up the wrong tree. Could your SD card
possibly be write-protected? The reason I'm wondering about that is
because my SD card copies fine on my laptop when it is right
protected, but on the mPower it only works when the write-protect
switch is in the read-write position. Just in case, I'll try and
describe here how to put the switch on an SD card in the read-write position.
Hold the card with the label side facing upwards. The cut off corner
is at the top right, and the notches on the underside are on the top
edge of the card. If you run your finger or fingernail along the left
side of the card, you will find a gap, I guess it's around 5ML long?
There is also a gap on the right edge of the card, but it's only half
the size of the gap on the left edge. Near the gap on the left edge,
there is a slider which is the right-protect switch. To be able to
write to the SD card in the mPower, the switch needs to be slid
towards the bottom edge of the card, and when the switch is in the
write-protect position it is towards the back edge of the card, which
as I said is the edge that contains the cut off corner on the right,
and the notches on the underside of the card.
By the way I just reread the part in the user guide about SD cards,
and I've correctly described how to hold the card, I've gone into a
bit more detail though, so I hope some of this info is useful. If you
wish to refer to the BN user guide about SD cards, refer to section 2.6
Cheers,
Tanya

Hi, I still can't upgrade my BN using my SD card. I think there is
something wrong with the SD card because my dad had it for his MP3
player and hasn't been able to get it working for awhile now and he
thought it was something he was doing wrong but it looks like the
card is bad. I tried preparing the card again and copying the files
over again but the upgrade still wouldn't work. I got my mum to
check what was written on the card and it says 128m so it should
work. The PC doesn't have a problem copying the files to the card
but I can't get the upgrade to work I just keep getting the message
SD card Error.
So I think I will get mum to buy me another SD card tomorrow and try again.
Thanks again for all the suggestions.
