I dumped a game into 3 parts, each of which I copied to one of two SD cards. I copied part 1 and part 3 just fine but every time I try and copy part 2 I get 'cannot copy RM3E: the device is not ready'. It happens at random times during the copy, sometimes with only like 30-40 seconds left. I'm not doing anything differently and I've tried disconnecting the SD card as well as the card reader but no luck. I'm running windows XP Service Pack 3 if that helps.

Anyone else run into this problem or have an idea as to what causes it?

 

format the card again then redo the dump .

 

cool you are heading in the right direction , when plug and unplug these drives be sure to right click and select eject please it make your life easier

 

Now sometimes it says 'the parameter is incorrect'.

My computer needs to make up it's mind.

 

I use windows. I right click the SD card in My Computer, click format and do the full format (not the quick one). I keep the file system as FAT.

Now I use a strategy called praying. I start copying from the SD card and I just pray that it works. When I finally got all 3 pieces on from one of the games I backed up and pieced them together (Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles) it does in fact work. So perhaps there is a problem with the card reader itself?
