Title: Problem Installing ML files onto Sandisk 32GB SD card (on Mac)
Post by: WJCarman on January 31, 2014, 03:31:50 PM
Hello,

I have been following the instructions to install ML, it says to format the card in camera using a low level format. After doing this and putting the card into my laptop it will not allow me to drag the ML files onto the card.

However, I found that if I do a normal format (so low level is unticked) it does allow me to click and drag the ML files onto the card.

I just wanted to know if anyone else has encountered this problem and if it will mess up the installation if I do a normal format instead of low level?

Thank you.

I am using a 32GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC class 10 card and a Mid-2010 15" Macbook Pro Laptop.

Maybe a stupid question: Has the protection tab on the side of the card inadvertently slid to "lock"?

Never mind, sorted it now.

I tried doing the low level format again, then plugged the card into a PC and it worked fine. Problem solved.
