Hopefully it's ok to post this here, because although it is not specifically related to Astak, this is how I read books on my Pocket Pro.
I seem to be having issues with my SD card. I've got around 200 books loaded on it, and some times when I put the SD card in my computer it has a difficult time recognizing it. But after some tinkering, it always ends up working. But before I go any further, let me check to be sure I'm doing this right: typically when I take my SD card out of my pocket pro I switch over to the internal memory, then remove the card. I transfer whichever books I want, then click the "remove device" button on my computer, then pop it out of the slot, and back in to the Pocket Pro. Is this how I'm supposed to do it, or am I supposed to turn off the Pocket Pro each time I remove the SD Card? I've just been doing it this way rather than using the USB cable, as it seems much quicker and easier, and I don't have to dig the cable out of my dresser.
Well, today when I popped the card into my computer, it showed up as G drive, but when I clicked on it, Windows Explorer hung up. I tried closing it down, and it came back with the lovely message that the program was not responding. I tried to click on the remove drive icon at the lower left hand corner of the screen, but nothing happened. Finally I tried restarting my computer, but the whole thing froze up. After about 15 minutes I finally just turned it off, let it sit about a half hour, and came back to it and turned it back on. Windows Explorer popped up after the computer rebooted, and then when I tried to click on the G: drive it said the drive was not formatted, and would I like to format now? I said no, as I don't want to lose all my books. But it still won't let me click on the G: drive. So does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do? I'm thinking I should go ahead and format it (whatever that means... I'm really not that technically minded, but I'm assuming my computer knows what it's talking about) and just reload all of my books and folders back on with Calibre, once it's done formatting. If I do that, should I delete everything first off the SD card, or just let the computer do its thing? I really don't know what I'm doing, and I would appreciate any advice so I can get back to reading!
I also want to put the new firmware on, but it's not letting me put that on the SD card, either.
Thanks for the help!
