You first Backup the partition table as it is, so you can return it to the order needed for the uSD card to work in your glo. Give the save a name like "Glo_format". Then you make the "KOBOeReader" partition accessible, which should move it to the top of the listed partitions. Then you backup that, with a name like "Windows_format", so you can just Restore that partition table, to make the card work in windows.

With the card's partition table compatible with windows you should see the card in windows explorer, and can add the files and folders to make the update you want. Once you have done that you would open BootIce again and restore the glo_format partition table. Now you can return the uSD card to your Kobo device and the update should take effect.

Thanks for the suggestion, Ken! Although I find this option a little intrusive considering my limited capabilities lol Not sure how to even whack the Glo's external casing without ruining it.
