Smc Trouble

[Stainy]

Hey... interesting thread... ok here`s my woe`s..
Got a 128mb card from pcworld.. I`m using slubmans with my FLU..
formatted it.. says it has 1 bad blocks.. I copied a few things over.. rebooted and nothing.. if I take the card out it boots fine.. so I thought.. ok pcworld sold me a dodgy card.. got it replaced today... formatted it in the software... ( on the gp32 ) same thing ( 1 bad blocks ) threw a few things into the gpmm dir... all done.. pressed select like it asks you.. and rebooted.. nothing.. once again, if I take the card out it boots, put it in and nothing.. do I need to get one of these card readers? and this smcrecover tool to fix it ??
thanks in advance..

why not formatting it in windows xp ??
works fine 4 me ....

​

anyway - took it round to a freinds with 98 - its fine now! yay (see post in rise of the triad post)

thought id wrecked it for a minute

thanks for the help guys brilliant as ever!

for future reference - can you format in xp or not??

​

When I format my card in XP it was unusable, this was when I first got my GP then it took 2 days to find out how to fix!!! (I fixed same was as you format in win me)
