I've flashed my lbook successfully a number of times using the same flash card - couldn't do it from a mac though. Card is 1GB, fat16, .bin was in the root - in short, setup was as it should be but it was a no go. I'm wondering if my device somehow expects the .bin file to be the first one found on the card and if it isn't then it's a no go.

@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
