I am having difficulty updating my firmware 1.1.3 to the new ML Alpha 2 for the 5D3. I downloaded the firmware and placed the entire ML downloaded folder in the root directory of the SD card. When I attempt to update I am advised "Memory card containing firmware is required to update". I then reformatted the card, in the camera, and placed the downloaded ml-5D3-113.fir file in my root directory. When I attempt to update the firmware to ML I get an advisory that all the ML files are necessary and the ML update is unsuccessful. The camera reverts to the original ver. 1.1.3.
The important notes in the ML User Guide state, "• If you have a bootable SD card and have the BOOTDISK flag set in the camera (which the installer does), and you do not have an AUTOEXEC.BIN file on the card the camera WILL NOT BOOT! It will hang and not wake up until the battery is removed." Could someone please explain this statement. I fear this might be my problem and I don't have a clue as to what it means.
Thanks for any help.
