Received my licence this morning and downloaded the english Wince version, licence and cab file copied to card but I don't get a boot menu, also the chinese version has 2 folders and the english one has none. What I'm I doing wrong?.

OK, a whole lot of questions. Where did you download from? (there isn't an English version yet!) Did you unzip the two folders (boot & lbe) from the file and copy them to the root of your SD card along with the licence? Is the cab file, houndx's translator cab?

Do I need to first run the chinese version and then from there run hound's cab?

I'm afraid I Don't know? I had already played around with the Chinese version for a while before houndx's cab was available, so I know it does work that way round at least. I do know that you can't do it off of the device e.g. on your PC before copying onto SD your card.

Do you have a licence file? did you copy it to the SD card? (I forgot to do this last time, felt such a chump )

You have to copy the two folders and the license file to the SD card and use the SDUpdate tool to make the SD card bootable. When you have successfully booted into WinCE install the translated cab by double tapping on the cab file. Then restart the device.

I've never used the SDUpdate tool and mine works OK! If you have a FAT32 formatted SD card (which they are by default) then it will work fine

After clicking the file "SD Card Fusing Tool.exe" and selecting:

Product Type: SmartQ7

Select SD Card Driver: Thats where I have the SD Card

SD Card Type: In my case SD

And then pressing "Start Fusing" thats when I get that message.

As I said, I've never used it, never had to. The Std Windows FAT32 formatted cards have always worked for me. As I understand it, you need the special format if you want to load an additional Linux type OS e.g. Mer, Android because they need the special format EXT2/3 to exist on your SD card along side the Std Linux and WinCE.
