Sd card contents vanished when loading Chopin 1.2 firmware

[jomdonsen]

Please describe the problem:

Hi, also just posted this on the facebook group page - I

just attempted the Chopin 1.2 firmware update (following along with the directions via GitHub) and after backing up my sd card (in three different places, fortunately) and deleting my old firmware .bin file, v4.1.4), I attempted to put the Chopin 1.2 .bin on my card but got an error message that it could not be read and then the entire contents of my sd card vanished.

When I go to put the original copied files back on my sd card, I get this message below. Very freaked out! Appreciate any guidance, thanks. Also, the card won’t eject with the message that “one of more programs may be using it”, but I am reluctant to force eject.

What is the expected behavior?

That the new firmware would install

To me this sounds more like a corrupted SD card than anything else. I would buy a new SD card (Kingston Go! Canvas Plus -cards are known to perform well), or failing that reformat the card and then copy your files and the new firmware back on it.

It looks like your card is corrupt. I'd just reformat it and then copy your old files over. For best performance you'll need to use FAT32 with 32kbyte clusters when you format it
