I had the same problem with mine ages ago when i first got it

In the end i just use a normal SD card reader, dirt cheap and seem much quicker than the normal USB GP2X way.

Yeah, get a card reader, the usb storage capability of the gp2x is shit.

lol, thx for the replies im just wondering which card reader to get now, from argos.co.uk , since i can get that today.

The usb mass storage thing on the gp2x is quite poor, just enable networking and samba and copy the files across that way - much better

Or even better than that is a sd card reader/writer. You can get these for a couple of quid.

Well i bought a dirt cheap one off the internet which reads all different cards. Theyre very cheap, Argos might be a bit dearer as theyre more 'mainstream' but either way it wont cost you tons

Get one and then the joy of the GP2X is there !

just got back and formatted the sd card (worked fine) gp2x still not recognised by windows .

going to try some games on the card and see if the gp2x can see them

Which firmware version does your gp2x have?

 

[Samba Pa Ti]

firmware 2 afaik, it reads the sd card fine (had an xvid file playing and some games, then the bats died) just dislikes windows thru usb

Are you using USB via Mass storage or via Networking?

 

[Samba Pa Ti]

tried both it hates both

edit* another thing i noticed is that when i click/press the usb menu it doesnt show 'connected' anymore (it did earlier) this might have somthing to do with it :S

I have XP sp 1 running on a computer and it can see and know what my GP2X is, but the transfer rate stinks! It eats your batteries alive. It peels the skin off of your batteries and the screaming is too terrible to bare listening to. My card reader is much more happier to deal with. Most of the time I use my main desktop which has SuSE Linux 10.0 installed. It has no problem seeing my GP2X. But again the card reader is much more humane when dealing with your batteries.
