I probably blundered upgrading my compact:
I read the page on a site where the whole procedure (which is the Word-file in the ftp's Backuptool folder) was explained. It stated that an SD card with at least 128 MB of space was needed for the whole procedure.
Since I had 132 mb left on mine I thought I could use that one, which was the one with my sprite backup file and games and sorts.
But the card remains unreadable for the Compact and XP. So must I really format it or is the some workaround to retrieve my stuff or delete whatever romupdate or ntrw did to my sd-card, leaving the data I had on it before the procedure?

Sorry to say this but your data's gone unless you get a program like undelete that can read data that's been passed over twice, even then I can't garantee that as I'm not sure if that process works on SD cards (I'm guessing it does). You will have to reformat the card to make it readable again first.

O.k. too bad. Thanks jimmy. It's not a huge problem, I've got my Compact for just about a month now, so nothing too important on it yet. Well If you consider an AOE campaign not really important :wink:

LOL, I know what you mean about AOE! When I got my phone I played it for hours and hours. Then my card decided to corrupt itself. One and only time it's happened, too. When I didn't have an up-to-date backup! Lost my game, I nearly cried! That happened 2 months ago and I still haven't brought myself to reinstall the game cos it would just frustrate me now!
