This has probably been asked and answered before (but I can't find it!)...
If I have ML on my memory card and then swap the card for another memory card (without ML) do I need to de-install the first memory card.
Thanks in advance

No but you won't "magically" get ML on the new card if that's what you're asking

I bet most of the people using ML hasn't got a clue about what you're doing in the first procedure.
All you do to your camera is set the bootflag so it can load stuff at the startup. Then you make your card bootable (so it is recognized in the boot procedure) and put the autoexec.bin file in the main root which is actually ML code. So, if you're planning to use another card you just have to make it bootable and load ML files onto it.

Very disappointed that ML won't 'magically' work, maybe an idea for your next version release!!!

Yeah, i'm currently working on a project which involves booting Windows without actually installing Windows to the HDD.
