@mvoosten: yeah read your posts about the problems you had and tried the same procedure. I think that did work one time but it's not needed for my device - wiping it using winxp's format works fine, as long as the only file I drop onto the card is the .bin. Makes me wonder if there are differences between the reader devices or if it comes down to different SD cards.

Thanks for the replys

I use the Kingston 1GiB that came with the lbook. I haven't re-formatted it and I can update while there are a lot of folders/files along with the .bin file.
Btw, you keep the USB cable connected while updating? The "from a mac" is curious, but probably you mean after transfer the .bin to SD card from a max machine. Otherwise the device is not aware of windows/mac/linux/etc, you simply use the machine to transfer files, either to built-in memory or SD card...
