Have you checked the card is not locked i.e. that it is write enabled.
Your TT has to be able to write to the card.

It depends on how you copied your files to your new card. I find the best way is firstly to ensure that your browser has the 'show hidden files and folders' box checked. Then create a folder on your PC and copy everything from your old SD card to that folder. Finally copy everything from the folder on your PC (not the folder itself, only the contents) to your new SD card. It should then work.

REMEMBER, before you make any changes, perform a full backup.

THANKS FOR THE REPLY ON THE NEW CARD THE WRITE ENABLE IS RIGHT
I HAVE LOADED THE CARD FROM MY 256K AS INDIVIDUAL FILES AND WHEN I CHECK THE CARD ON THE COMPUTER TO CHECK THAT WHAT I HAVE PUT ON THE CARD IS THERE AND IT IS BUT WHEN I PUT IT IN THE TOM TOM I GET A RED CROSS TO SAY THAT IT IS THE WRONG CARD

There are some SD Cards that are giving trouble when used with a TT.

What Card do you have?

And is it a High Speed one?

HI RICHARD
THE SD CARD I AM USING IS AN ORDINARY SANDISK MEMORY CARD AND IT DOESENT SAY HI SPEED

I believe that have been found to cause problems with TT.

I currently use a ByteStor Hi-Speed, and I've had no trouble with it.

Could you turn your Caps Lock off please. You're deafening everyone. Smile

Be warned, this is not sold by Amazon but by a third party. I ordered a Kingstom SD card from them and after over a month of email ping pong I cancelled and ordered another make from someone else. Following this cancellation they ignored it and sent it to me by return saying it was too late to cancel as it had been dispatched, so I ended up with two.

I wouldn't touch these with a barge pole.

I had a similiar problem to start with on my SD card. I formatted it to FAT16 using Windows XP and it worked fine after that. It's possible that the card is formatted to NTFS but the TomToms use Linux.
