Hi, i recently downloaded moonshell from acekard site, followed the instructions and installed it on my microsd along with akaio and some games.
Everything went well.
the following day i thought it would be a good idea to make a backup of the microsd card. I plugged it into the usb adapter and started the direct copy of the contents to the hdd of my laptop.
First thing that happened is it would say "discovered 2 files" and would stick there forever, I finally narrowed it down to moonshell files.
I skipped the moonshell nds and folder files, all copied fine so i thought.
I disconnected the microsd stopping it first the correct way with windows application. inserted it into the acekard.
This is where the problem started.
Upon boot up it went to the guru meditation error screen. tried again same thing. Took it out and placed the microsd back in the usb adapter and placed it back in the laptop.
Decided to check each folders contents, here`s where the fun starts. The _aio folder is completley empty, the rest are fine. I thought nothing of it and decided to copy it from the backup back to the microsd. Low and behold the backup _aio was also empty. I then went to the downloaded version i got from this site and went to install that straight back on the microsd card. Now when i tried that all i get is a message from windows saying the card is write protected?.
Here are some steps i have tried.
0-no switch for lock on microsd card or usb adapter
1-panasonic sd format tool says write protected, unable to format
2-windows built in format tool same as above.
3-added reg keys to turn off write protect for the usb microsd card, same result still write protected.
4-tried all options under default right click properties(defrag,fix errors and so on)
5-used different adapters including microsd to sd adapter with the switch to unlock, also taped the switch as some people say to do, still says write protected.
6-used another computer with xp. same result(was using vista x32 bit at first)
I came to the conclusion the microsd card has gotten hard coded to always write protected on.
My questions are why only _aio folder affected. The other folders copied fine. only aio folder was wiped.
My microsd card was 8gb class 6 and transfered at 15mb sec so was ok in that department. why did it suddenly fail during a backup. i was not writing to the card, only reading it`s contents. Why did Moonshell stop the copy?.
Any advice other than to purchase a new card....
