Re: [GW-Booksense] Updating Firmware

[Traci]

A side note here.  I love my little card reader!  It worked like a charm to 
update my booksense with my sd card.

My card read has 2 caps on either end.  One end for the USB part, and the 
other cap covers where you insert the sd card.  A great way to cary around 
the sd card, should you ever have the need.  *smile.*  Oh yeah, and the 
light on the card reader is so flippin bright.  I bet totally blind people 
can see it.  *grin!*

BTW, it is so much faster to do transfers via the sd then using the 
booksense.

   Another way to test this would be to connect the Booksense to the 
computer without the SD card.  Once connected, insert the SD card and see 
if the computer will find it.

Agreed that the SD card not showing up as a removable drive while the 
card is inserted into the BookSense is odd to be sure. The good thing is 
that Karly was able to get it upgraded via a card reader. My curiosity is 
more on the nature of whether this is specific to her computer or to her 
BookSense. the only way to be sure is for Karly to insert her SD card in 
the BookSense, turn it on, and connect it to another PC. If the same 
thing happens where only the flashdisk drive is there, then it's specific 
to her BookSense and we need to investigate further. If however the other 
computer sees both drives then it's a computer issue.

Many thanks.

That's weird about the missing drive.  I run on xp pro, and I did the 
entire
upgrade without using a separate card reader (which is good as I don't 
have
a card reader -- another thing to buy...)
Glad you got it upgraded.

Hi,

Well, my sister came over tonight and helped me try and find the extra 
drive
with the card and there was absolutely no extra drive anywhere.  We then
went and I bought a card reader and it worked perfectly with the card
reader.  I put the firmware file on the card and then put the card into 
the
BookSense and it upgraded perfectly without any problems.

I remember when I first received my BookSense I tried plugging it into 
the
computer itself and it wouldn't work at first without the SD card 
inside. I
was instructed that initially to get the BookSense to work at first you 
need
to put the SD card inside to initialize.  I put the card inside, still 
not
realizing it was supposed to show me another drive, and the BookSense 
worked
just fine initializing, so I'm really not sure how that happened.  Of 
course
after the initial connection I could use my BookSense XT without the 
card.

I am a little confused still why without a card reader the SD card 
doesn't
show up, but it seems that my problem is solved.

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions!

Karly

Hello. Just so you know, the drive letters on one computer are usually
different than the drive letters on another. As others have said, look
for removable drive since most SD cards do not have a label. You can of
course give it a label. I believe that section 3 of the BookSense 
manual
may talk about this, or you could search for the word label to find
out. If you are not seeing two new drive letters when connecting your
BookSense XT to the computer with an SD card in it, then perhaps you
need to arrow to the right in case you are using tile view on your
computer.

Hopefully you can get the upgrade done.

Many thanks.

Hi All,

I have a couple questions.  I am starting the process of upgrading the
firmware.  My first question is, when I down load it and then have to
find
the drive of the sd card, is it the same drive as the 
booksense...drive
e?
When I plug in my booksense with or without the sd card in it since I
have
the XT I just see that it is drive e?  Is this correct?  I don't see 
an
extra drive when the sd card is connected, is this normal?

Also, it says that after I disconnect the booksense I need to plug it
into
the AC adapter and do the actual upgrade.  Now, do I just disconnect 
the
SD
card after the firmware is completely upgraded?

Thanks for all your help.

Karly
