So I got my microSD card today and it was time to try out my newly bought R4DS. I did not buy one of the so called "supported" microSD cards, actually I found that list today, it's a 2GB Transcend card. And since I got the card so cheap I haven't really thought anything about it, I used my friend's discount that he has in the store where I bought it. But I know my friend who ordered the exact things like I did (same microSD card) hasn't had any problems with his card, so I actually think this is a problem on my computers behalf.
Anyway I loaded it up and it worked perfectly. I added some music videos to the card that I had converted, they worked. After a while the whole thing went apeshit on me, Moonshell deleted itself somehow, and everything disappeared. The card froze on the "Loading..." screen and nothing happened. So I thought that maybe I had installed Moonshell incorrectly (I just dragged and dropped the R4 firmware and the Moonshell directly from the ZIP file on the official R4 site). Well anyway, I think it had something to do with those music videos that I put on there, I actually put four more videos on the card and some of them had really long file names but I didn't care to change them and after that it was stuck on Loading.
So I try to load the card in the SD reader that came with the R4. My computer can't seem to find the reader, and it's impossible to safely remove the device in Windows since it's not in the list. So I unplug it and try again, and there it is. But when I try to open it Explorer.exe crashes on me and so it went on and on. I actually reinstalled my USB drivers but nothing solved it. Normally if something like this would've happened I would have been paranoid that the card was the problem, however I've had this kind of problem before with certain USB devices (such as my iPod). Haven't had any errors with the G6L Loader nor my External HDD. I solved the iPod problem by using a program called Anapod instead of Apple's iTunes and it works, however the iPod can't be found in the device list from time to time though. (I've read on many forums that this is a common problem for some XP SP2 users but never really found any soloution).
So anyway, has anyone got the same problems as me, or do you perhaps know any solution to the problem? Right now my brother is trying to connect the SD Reader to his computer and try to format it for me there, and hopefully I'll get it up and running tomorrow, perhaps I will consider buying a better reader for the card.
