XDArit doesn't like me

[cerberos]

i have a recent boot loader so i need to use XDArit to write a card that will allow me to backup my rom right.

so i downloaded XDArit, the boot loader patch, ran XDArit, put in my MM card, pointed it to my usb SD reader, pointed it to the .nb2 file, and told it to write

it comes up with this error (even after rebooting into explorer):

failed to open device \\.\physicalDrive10

what am i to do? is it that you must use SD cards not MM cards?

just trying to think of possible issues, could it be the SD card reader is plugged into my keyboard and not directly into a motherboard USB port?

Hey there cerberos,

Try the older version of XDArit (http://www.zensay.com/qtek/tools/xdarit_old.zip).

It's also best to have the reader plugged directly into your mainboard.

yes the older version of XDArit worked, thank you

XDArit wont read the card though after i've backed the device to it

Try following:
- write something to your SD with xdarit and leave xdarit working
- backup xda ROM to SD
- read it from SD with XDARit.

I experience the same problem: XDARit fails to read SD until it writes something to it first. Old and new versions are the same.

I tried this and received an error message that "the drive was not a removable drive and would probably overwrite a harddrive...okay?"

There are 5 choices in the drop down menu of drives. All give the same result.

well with the new one i get an error of failed to read device 4, which is strange as the reader appears to be device 14:)
