Hello,

I've just bought 16GB SD card, and I am bit puzzled how to prepare it to work.

I am asking because the closest thing I did to make it work, was to format it (on PC) -- then I have to start DR without it, and when DR complains about missing card, I insert it. When started with card inside DR says there is card missing or starts up but then turns into "busy" mode and computes something (now, for about 3 hours). Odd.

When I successfully start DR, and then shut it down, the card is empty -- DR does not create any structure for putting files on the disk.

So -- how should I prepare SD for it? Any particular block size when formatting? Should I copy all the files and directories from the original 1GB SD card?

Thank you in advance.
