SuperCard SD Problem!

I have a little "problem" with my SuperCard. I got it a week ago, and whenever I go to my friend's house to transfer all my files over to the SD card via his digital camera, it never ends up working.

When I tried to format the SD card on his computer, the "format" option would NOT work no matter what. I tried all of the methods, and it won't freaking work.

Luckily, I got it to format in the actual camera, though -- but after I go to load it up, it doesn't work..probably from it formatting it wrong, but it WON'T format on the computer.

After I dragged all of my files to the SD card, put it in my DS with everything else in, nothing happened. I have the update file in there, along with some prepatched games. Could someone tell me what the problem might be (if there is one besides the formatting..because it won't show up at all on the computer!)? I'm using a PNY Technologies 128MB SD card. I just get white screens when I boot it.

Thanks!

P.S. I might just get this SD card if this thing won't format with my other friend's camera.

Hi

What error message do you get when formatting it on the computer? What Operating system was it? XP? Is this GBA or DS stuff you're trying to boot? What happens exactly when you boot? white screens? have you tried it in GBA mode?

I already answered most of those questions..but hey.

I don't get an error message when I do it...it's just not highlighted at all, it's in gray. When I do it in DOS it gives me some random error I can't remember.

I'm on XP.

I'm trying to boot anything. I have GBA/DS/and other games on there. It doesn't boot at all.

I get two white screens..nothing comes up at all.

I doubt "GBA mode" would be any different. Me and my one friend have pretty much deduced that it's my SD card, so I'm gonna get a new one
(only $2 after rebate for a 128MB) and see if it works.

Thanks, though.
