Yeah that is what it said, the laptop card reader wouldn't read it, tried it a couple of times and then tried re-booting but that didn't solve it. Put back in the logger but it didn't seem to recognise it, said SD inserted but didn't go any further.

I've not ever had it happen before and I use my camera card a fair bit in the PC.

yeah, it was a bit odd, gave it 100% TPS in first but lifted before it changed up and it still showed 5600 max rpm. It was still pulling strong when I backed out of the throttle. Have to try again when the weather clears.

Can the SC card be fitted/removed with it powered up? So far I have only done so with it unplugged.

I never power it off to remove the card, and very often remove and insert the card while logging to make changes to the ADX using TuenrPro. The logger loads the updated ADX and continues along happily. You do lose the entire log if it is still recording, but that does not trash the file system on the card.

That is likely caused by not stopping it first. TunerPro will keep hold of ADX and XDL files until it is closed.

When turning the key off on the '808 which turns off the logger during a recording? You will like your updated logger when it returns ;)

hahaha yeah that used to be a very regular issue, also when I was at the hillclimb, the logger bounced around the floor a few times and edjected the sd card, after that I got copies amounts of cable ties and sorted it for the day :)

yes your right I am stoked with the updates :)

Your right, I tried ejecting the SD card with it powered up and it read it fine when it was re-inserted. After I lost the data it only said SD inserted but never loaded anything so most likely something was corrupted. Never mind, just another excuse to go out and get another base line log to work with when this rain finally stops:)

I always use the eject function if writing to a card on the laptop after having an issue with a memory stick years ago.
