Help on BCD436HP SD Card Error

[hiegtx]

Let's take this step by step.
I'm using a card reader, and a new blank card. However, if you install a new card, correctly, in the scanner, then power up the scanner & get into "Mass Storage Mode, the steps would be the same.

Starting with a blank card:
Start the SD Card Formatter.

The formatter program "sees the card", in this case under drive E. The actual drive letter you'd see would be influenced by how many other drives are on your PC, both hard drives as well as CD or DVD drives.
Click Format to format the card.

Now. either leaving the card in a reader, or with the card in the scanner, and the scanner is in "Mass Storage Mode", go into Sentinel.
Select the Clear User Data option under the Scanner menu.

With a blank card, whether in a reader, or in the scanner, with the scanner in Mass Storage Mode, you'll see this:

Select Display all drives.

Sentinel then sees the blank drive,

Select OK & Sentinel will create the needed file folders on the card.



See next post to continue (there is a limit on the number of screen shots that can be used in a post).

I have no idea what I did but I finally got it working again. You guys are great, thanks to all for the support. Tomorrow another sd backup card. This time I’ll be less careless.

(Sound like you have it working, but here are the rest of the steps if needed.)

continued.........
With the card having the initial setup file folders, leave it either in the card reader. If the card is instead in the scanner, leave it there, and leace the scanner in Mass Storage Mode.

Make sure that you have the correct Model selected in Sentinel. That selection is under the Tools drop-down menu. You'll see the model selected at the lower left area of the Sentinel screen. Make sure that you have the Favorites lists you want to use selected in your Sentinel profile, and verify that your correct service type are selected.

Next, select Write to Scanner, either from the drop-down Scanner menu, or use the icon below the left corner of "Update" on the top row.


Sentinel 'sees' the card. The Serial # is X'd out, since, as yet, Sentinel does not know what scanner the card will be used in.

Select OK to proceed with the 'write to scanner' (in this case, of course, it's a blank card).

Once that completes, the card is ready for use. Either properly eject the scanner from Mass Storage mode (if that is what was used to set up the card), or remove the card from the card reader & install in the scanner.

Thanks I’ll save that information.
