I have a Bonus Spin RW & B flash disk that I copied for a back-up. I put it back in and now it will not boot up. (See Pic.) Does anyone know what the problem might be?
I can play the sound files and view the reel bonus pictures on my laptop so some of the files are OK. The group of files are DATA (21 files), ATA10054 14 files & 8 folders)
BGM00011 (50 files). It was playing fine before.

Yeap, see what happens when you play with the flash files, Good news, it is repairable, a repairman in a box will be sent to you, but he is sworn to keep his lips sealed

Interesting.

I've got the Vision LCD out of mine right now (enjoying the Haywire Deluxe group buy kit), and was gonna pop the card in my laptop and back it up/see what's on it.

Maybe I won't do that after all. 

Any idea what happened? Does it do a checksum on the image, which got hosed by Winblows creating the System Volume Information and Recycler directories?

Oh, and how did you get the boot sequence to show on the LCD? My LCD always stayed dark until the bonus game came up.

Use Linux to image your cards!!!  Tux does not void warranties.

I was going to suggest DOS. There are copies that will recognize USB (if that's how you're connecting). DOS won't mess with the data on the drive either.
