Sd Problem =[

Hey, I'm experiencing problems with my gp2x, it doesnt read my memory card and takes FOREVER to load NAND memory. Please help. :mellow:

Elaborate.

Did you first format the card as FAT32?
Are you using a card reader? (I highly recommend you get one if not)
What, specifically, takes forever to load from your NAND?

Ok, I mean as if I open "explorer" and open NAND overall, not a specific file, and I'm sure my card is FAT32, but when I right click it on my computer, it says it is FAT

... how are you sure it's FAT32, if your PC says FAT?

And for crying out loud, get a card reader

:blink: Ok, how do I get one? Do you mean the SD loader the GP2X came with? Please help

And also, now my comp freezez if I try opening Drive F (SD card) I think I might have found out my problem, either I formatted it wrong, or It's fried >_<

hello?

Get one of these to access your SD card:

Your GP2X is probably fine. I am (and looks like TelcoLou is) still pretty confused as to what you are doing and how things are going wrong though.

A basic suggestion: Do not put the SD card in the GP2X and then connect the GP2X to your computer with a USB cable. This is known to not work very often. Get a separate card reader and use that to format the SD card and load things onto it.
