Hi list,
I have also seen the "error: sector could not be found" message
while I was performing a backup of my flash disk to a SanDisk 2GB SD
card. So, that suggests that this is a global problem regarding
sector management, right? Would that be a CE problem or a KeySoft
problem? By the way, my SD card was brand new, and there was
absolutely nothing on it before I performed the operation. Upon
seeing the error, I exited and tried again, got the error again, and
gave up. What a disconcerting problem.
Cheers,
Craig
