HELP FOR TOMTOM GO 300

[craigr]

I am looking for some help in transfering the back up of my original tt go 300 sd card to a 512mb SanDisk, I have tried in vain over the last few days and still no joy, when I format the new card using my TomTom and transfer all the files I get a red cross through the card on the display, I have enabled the show hidden folders and files, once I open the properties of the new card it shows that only 10mb has been transferred whereas the original card has 117mb of information. Once I have formatted the new card the computer picks up TomTom as TomTom and not a removable disk on my(E) drive and it shows the same icons and folders as the original card but something must be missing, when I put the original back into TomTom and switch it on it works but when I put in the SanDisk memory card it's rejected every time.

I have looked through posts on this forum and tried them all but still no joy, any help would be appreciated.

First - have you backup up the orginal SD card - create a directory on your harddive, then select all the files and folders on your TomTom to this new folder. How big is this folder - should be 117M - if not there is a problem.

Now burn this off to CD/DVD.

Now put in the new SD card and drag all the files/folders out of the new directory into the root of the directory of the new SD card.

Thanks for that eventually got it done by burning copy of backup to cd and then copying it to new card .
