Petit Crouton Won't function!

If you've got a Mac, I don't know. They're magics to me.
If you've got Windows7 (like me), place the card into your reader (mine looks like a memory stick that plugs into a USB port). If you open "Computer" off your desktop, it'll open a window that shows all your active drives. Under "Devices with Removable Storage" there's probably a cd/dvd icon (probably called D), and one (E) that might be called Lightmeat (the spare I've got has been renamed, so I'm guessing on the original name). Below that it should say something like 1.83GB free of 1.83GB, that shows the card's overall storage capacity. Double clicking shows the list of files, but you want to Right Click over the (E) drive icon (the whole thing will light up), which calls up a menu. Down towards the bottom of the list is "Format..." and another menu will pop up. At the bottom, check "Quick Format", press Start, wait a few seconds, and you're done. Then copy the Lightmeat files back onto the drive (which for PetitCroutonLightmeat2.0 is a total of 28 files, 2 .txt and 26 wave sound files) all at once.

Darn, you FJK. Beat me to it, and my novel took so long I timed out.

This might help.

Unfortunately, nothing happened. Maybe I did it wrong, but I don't think so.

Thanks amwolf. My dumb self did not even realize that I need a card reader. I was simply plugging the card right into the computer. I hoped that would work. I need to purchase a card reader.

Do I need a card reader?

**amwolf** · 10-14-2013, 05:28 PM

Actually, the answer may be no. My desktop at the office has a slot in it I can plug cards into, my home one does not. If your system has a port, the procedure should be essentially the same, assuming it recognizes the card.

Okay. Then before I accidentally do any damage, I will buy a card reader tomorrow.

I am confused.. How do you know the switch setting was at 1 unless you had a way to read the card?

If you can plug the card (and only the card) into your computer and read the files, then you don't need a card reader. You already have one built into your computer.

If you've just been plugging the saber in and using RICE, then that's a different story.
