I NEED HELP QUICKLY!

i was on another forum asking how to load hombrew as it was not working with my supercard lite. One guy suggested to try loading it through DSORGANIZE.

i tried and as i pressed LOAD i got 1 white screen and 1 black screen.

I then turned my ds off and turned it on again.

However everyhting was gone. All my nintendo ds roms. GONE

I then plugged it into the micro SD adaptor and plugged it into my card reader. Nothing happened, so i double clikd on H DRIVE and nothing happens iuntill about 2mins later when it says something like please insert .

I dont know what to do and what has happened.

PLease help i am desperate.

Memory card corruption. Try rebooting Windows and format again.

What do u mean?

What I mean is that DSOrganize tried to write to the card incorrectly, and corrupted the card.

Ok it sounds like the FAT file system has been corrupted like the user above stated. It could also be that your computer/card reader just isn't liking your setup anymore as I have heard of this problem many times and it has something to do with Windows, card reader, etc.

Fist you need to format using FAT16. It might not let you so you might need to go to another computer with your reader and try again. Or if you have a cell or PDA that takes microSD try formatting with that.

If you can get it formatted you should have no problems.

If you don't know how to format your memory card you shouldn't be messing with flashcarts sorry... thats just IMO... No offense.. :oops:

In windows select the drive of the flashcart under my computer and right click and format. Then select FAT and format quick.

On your computer?

Take it easy, people are trying to help you, and may very well stop if you freak out and contradict yourself.

"How do i format using FAT16?"
"YES IKNOW HOW 2 DO IT"
