Problems copying one SD card to another

Post by fmmood »

I have two 1 GB cards, one (card A) with samples, the other (card B) is blank. I copy the contents of A into a folder on my desktop and then eject A, and plug B into my comp. then I drag the contents of the saved folder A into B.

Here's the problem, only the first pattern bank works when I load B into the SP. If I try to change the bank, they all just blink and the DEL button blinks as well.

What am I doing wrong? thanks

I don't know why that's happening but I'd try make an image of the drive and restore that image. The idea is you're then doing a bit-level copy which is identical and not a simple file copy.
This won't work when going from a larger drive to a smaller drive as it would truncate off the end of the partition.
