Oh, come on, America runs on bribes! (evil grin) Actually, I don't blame you one bit.

I explained the situation and got 2 256 cards. He wanted to know why we couldn't use the 2 gb cards and I simply said his guess was as good as mine. Anyway, I am having a totally rotten day thus far as my Optacon may have been fried by lightning. Anyway need to go box it and theVoice Note up.

I downloaded and ran the product key successfully, prepared the card for upgrading, and downloaded the nk.bin file. I tried going through the whole thing twice with the same result. The only way I was able to successfully upgrade our two BrailleNotes was to go out and buy a new SD card. The only one Office Max had was 512MB. The problem card was also 512MB, but I had used it successfully in the past to upgrade to 7.0 and then to 7.01. I was worried that another 512MB card might give the same error, but this was fortunately not the case. As a sidenote, I got in a hurry after purchasing the SD card, which was a very bad thing! I checked it on the PC and noticed it was formatted FAT, so I figured that was good enough, copied the nk.bin file to the card, and attempted to start the upgrade. At this point, my BrailleNote completely and utterly died, no speech, no Braille, no beeps or anything. I could hear the funeral dirge playing in my head as I dialed tech support. Then, Rich saved the day by suggesting a service reset, and this brought the BN back to life. I then ran the tool to prepare the card on the BN, re-copied the nk.bin file, and successfully ran the upgrade. All is well with both BN's, and 7.2 appears to be a very nice upgrade, albeit a bit buggy in places. Overall, it was quite a wake-up call when things didn't work, but it all came out in the wash.

I only have the one card. What is interesting is that I installed 7.0 with this card so I am not sure why I am having diffulty now. Thanks, Tiffany don bishop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Tiffany, I don't suppose you happen to have another sd card lying around somewhere do you? It's my understanding that the updating process itself is controlled within windows ce which is why there is a limit on the maximum size of sd card you can use for the upgrade. Also, I think that installer is rather particular about the specific cards you attempt to upgrade from, and it wouldn't surprise me if your card is what's giving the problem. It seems to me I recall someone trying to upgrade to either 7.0 or 7.1 and having the same problem you are now having. They solved it by using a different card. It sounds like you are doing everything just as you should.

I then prepared the card and copied the product key and the NK.bin file to the card and tried running the installation. I got the Product key to go no problem, but when it said to hold the J K and reset down I do that and then I get the message SD Card Error. I thought ok, maybe I need the zipped file. So, I prepared the card again and recopied the files and once again the product key went fine, but after the reset with J k I still get SD Card Error. So, I have no clue what I am doing wrong.
