Have BB XM package. I want to browse the provided SD card in Win 7 SD card slot. My 1st try with Win & did not see the card when SD card was inserted to that drive. Here’s some SD background information…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sd_card
What is the SD card’s format?
Is there a custom layout that is placed within a standard SD low level layout?
Do utilities exist to browse the SD card distribution on the card?
Were in the manual is the formal description of the SD format?
Cheers

Gerald,
Thanks for the quick reply. I plugged in the SD card to the slot which I believe from the HP factory is enabled. Nothing was showing in the Windows Exploder. I can’t remember right now if the SD card reader has to be enabled or if something else. Right now I’m learning the Windoze 7 environment.
I’ll go buy a card & use it in a camera or my old Palm T2, put a file on it, and try the HP laptop SD slot again.
I want to try the original image provided with the board or the nearest update of it. I have ways to put virtual drives using snatched images on the laptop. I’ll look for a raw disk editing tool which must exist 50 times already.
I’ll want to figure out why the original image is not working with the ext2/3 drivers packages. I have these ext2/3 drives already working with livdCDs, installed images, and running VMs. I can also read & write NTFS from LINUX using the well know ntfs-3g. The SD card FAT should read immediately. It’s likely the image is not edited correctly for ext2/3.
About the image you distribute, I’m curious how much of that image space actually is used. The same question could be asked about the FAT(-16|32?) image. I wondering about the origin of your cited image. Is it the same as the B-B distribution? If space is available then could the image be placed within the B-B approach using a FAT?
There is a reason the image does not work.
If the image is FAT and ext3 then how were they created?
I have seen issues using the slots built into laptops. I had one in my old laptop and it never worked. A cheap USB to SD/uSD works great. As to th eimage we send out. a lot of the space i snot used. It will most likley fit on a 2GB card but we can’t buy 2GB cards in bulk, so we switched to 4GB. The images were created using a Linux machine.
