Apparantly Adata card 8G and above will require a low level formatting before cloning from the tablet, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...153#post137153, #289 and http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...051#post137051, #24. Interestingly, Adata 4G SDHC can go straight without low level formatting while other report problems with 4G card, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...t=14637&page=2, #14 (what brand?). Or some have posted success by 'ghosting' from a previous working SD card, say a 2G card, onto 8G or above. Initial posting 1/08/08, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ighlight=clone, and today is 2/03/08. This 'bug' plaqued/discouraged the cloning process for close to one month!

I would like to know from those have attempted, please post what brand, size, succeed (failed with err statements if possible).

Here is mine (arrange from brands), LLF=low level format

Adata Turbo, 16G, succeeded after LLF, failed without LLF.
Adata Turbo, 8G, succeeded after LLF, failed without LLF.
Adata Turbo, 4G, succeeded without LLF
Adata 4G, micro in mini adaptor, succeeded without LLF (the card must be 'sit' rigidly, able to be read/write, it took me several trials to make it right)
Adata 4G, class 6, succeeded without LLF

Dane-Elec, 4G, succeeded without LLF

Kingston 4G, micro in mini adaptor, succeeded without LLF

Patriot, class6, 16G succeeded without LLF (Dan)

Sandisk Extreme III 4G, 8G (see thread #21, Geraldko) LLF may/may not needed
Sandisk 8 G micro w mini adapter, problems

The above are all SDHC. Any card bigger than 2G are SDHC? I used mostly Milhouse script. I did try the Wiki by enterring commands one by one,
http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howt...from_mmc_card/, no dice, same results, failed if no LLF. So far, 2G/Kingston and 1G/Adata have been straight clone, no LLF needed.
