I didn't even consider the FS on the Card. Thanks for bring that to my attention. What is the FS of the device memory; if I clone the card will I still be able to access it in windows? I realize that I really shouldn't be taking the card out and putting it in an adapter, but I'll still be able to access it via the usb connection, no?

Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, if I'm partitioning the SD, then I can just make a data partition that's readable. This is feasible right?

I actually skimmed through them all when you first posted. I'll take a deeper look when I have a little more time to spend. When I originally saw the wiki, it said that booting from the removable memory was "for more space to install applications" and I assumed that it meant on the device memory. It all makes sense now.

Thanks guys.
