openelec on sd card

they will all do that even the wetek image writer the rest still shows on the machine when you look at storage

WHAT I FOUND, If you use Win32 Diskmanager to load Openelec image to sd card it reduces capacity of sd card to 256mb instead of 4gb of which i think makes running on sd card slower, any thoughts, i loaded mine into nand flash and it runs lighning, sd card was scandisk 4gb.

on your sd card have you 2 partition fat 32 and 1 ext3 or 4 i am not sure but it is a linux partition standard you can that not seen in windows

The very same thing happened to my sd card ...
What I did was made a backup, copied it to my desktop,
used openelec installer (which will automatically download the latest version from the net.) onto the sd card
and once loaded 5.0.8 on to the wetek play ( afterupgrading the latest wetek image build)
then ftp transferred my backup through winscp back onto the box in /storage/backup and restored..
got a nice fast(er than before) box now..
