Title: New to ML, about to install
Post by: jfabian on July 31, 2013, 03:04:17 PM
This may be a stupid question, but I have to ask. I understand that I have to have a card with ML on it to boot the camera, but do I have to leave the same card in the camera throughout use? If I do, can I use a 64 GB card AFTER ML was installed the first time?

Thanks for any help.

Yes, the card that you are using HAS TO be bootable and HAS TO contain all the required ML files and folders.
Yes, you can use bigger cards AFTER you have set the bootflag in camera.

It would help to clear up your confusion if you told us which camera you are using...

ML ALWAYS has to be on a card in the camera.  If it isn't, ML isn't even on the camera and therefore will not work.

If you're using a 5D3, you can install ML on the SD card, and easily swap the 64GB media cards.  But A CARD with ML on it MUST ALWAYS be in the camera.
