I am getting 0 bytes when I run the ntrw read oldrom_gr.nb1 g: command..

It quits after this

NTRW v2.00
Removeable media
Cylinders: 0:0
TracksPerCylinder: 1
SectorsPerTrack: 16
BytesPerSector: 512
bufsize is 65536
0 bytes written Res: 0 bytes: 0
ReadFile(): german1.nb1 -- The parameter is incorrect.

Is this a normal thing..I have read posts which asks one to wait for a while ...waited for 10 mins but the file still shows 0 bytes...

Also the ntrw process is not showing up on the running proceses list.

Can anyone please shed light on this?

There's something not quite right here. It should look something like this:
NTRW v2.00
Removeable media
Cylinders: 0:31
TracksPerCylinder: 255
SectorsPerTrack: 63
BytesPerSector: 512
bufsize is 65536
255850496 bytes written bytes: 00484
ReadFile(): junk.nb1 -- The parameter is incorrect.

The parameter is incorrect thing is ok but it should show how many bytes were written.

Depending on the size of the SD card you're using, it could take a while. The above was a 256MB card. When a flash backup is done to an SD card on the pocketpc, it will always fill the entire size of the card no matter what it is. When ntrw finishes, your command prompt should come back.
