OK, thanks. I'm formatting the USB now, so hopefully this will work and I can get back to my Steam stuff when I wake up.

If it doesn't work then try with a different hard drive.  All your other hardware is likely okay.

So this isn't really a "traditional" computer question but I don't feel like making a specific thread.

I bought a 16GB Lexar Platinum II SDHC card today. I want to use it with my 3DS. But when I tried to transfer my data from my current 8GB SD card, wacky stuff starts happening. None of my stuff with DRM on it loads; Phoenix Wright, my custom background, my virtual console games. They load when I use my 8GB SD card, but something gets screwed up in the transfer of the data and it doesn't load on the 16GB card. My non-DRM music still shows, my photos are there, but everything else disappears.

Anybody have any clue what gives and how to solve it? Some guy on GameFaqs had a similar problem, which he solved by directly transferring between cards, but I only have 1 port and don't have any card readers.

That is the point of DRM! Preventing copies from working!

That is the point of DRM! Preventing copies from working!

And that is completely useless advice.

OK, gotcha. It's a problem with your 3DS putting some data onto the card before you put the game data onto it.

1) Format the 16GB card on your computer. Erease everything.
2) DO NOT put the 16GB card in your 3DS.
3) Copy the 8GB card into a folder on your computer.
4) Copy the contents of the folder onto the 16GB card.
5) NOW you may put the 16GB card into your 3DS

[Tawa]

Already did that.

[flabort]

Oh... including step 2?
If doing that again doesn't fix it....

Are you copying the whole folder or it's contents (the difference being whether the folder exists on the card)?

Hmm. I'm out of ideas.

[Tawa]

Just the contents, yeah.

[flabort]

Hmm... when you are formatting the card, which format are you choosing? FAT32?

According to this, it SHOULD be compatible... Perhaps check that your card is on the appropriate list?

[Tawa]

Yeah, FAT32. It's on that list, as well.

[wierd]

obvious solution is obvious.

1) create a disk image of the working SD card.
2) populate the nonworking SDCard with that disk image.
3) use microsoft diskpart to expand the small partition that now exists on the large card.
4) profit.

If the problem persists, it is because the DS is tracking pysical media information and using it in the DRM mechanism. No valid solution for that without hacking your ds.

[Tawa]

Did that too, actually. Making the partition bigger than 8 gigs causes it to stop responding again.

[TheBiggerFish]

Well that's weird.

'Sup, I'll use this thread too

I'm normally a very computer savy person and manage to fix even the most annoying bugs, but today I just can't wrap my head around it.

Here is the current status quo: I just opened MSN and Windows Live Mail and here is what presented itself to me. EVERYTHING ELSE works fine. Just these two windows are all washed up. Maybe something with the AERO stuff went haywire? Also note how in pic two the tool bar is perfectly fine...

The incredible thing is that when I mouse over something, the effect goes slightly away and then slowly comes back. I have really no idea what's going on.

EDIT: Installed both again, nothing changes; updated AMD catalyst video drivers to 11.8, still nothing.

Heres what i have found out with Windows programs:
Go into the File up in top left, then hit options, then hit theme and change the theme, maybe that will work
