So, lots of comments, but not much help in fixing the problem. I was originally hoping I could get a quick answer of "you need to format the card with this sector size and it will be good" or something simple.
To be honest, I do keep forgetting to try the formatting that Don suggested when I get home, and never remember to bring a card to work to try out. Has anyone tried what Don suggested, using the SD formatter program? Did it work out?
ModMy360, can you maybe share some more detail on how you tweaked the image, for those of us that don't know how to do what you said with the hex editor? Is it difficult to do? Is it something that can be done on a PC? I don't have a Linux machine (or know how to use Linux), and am pretty new to this whole sphere of knowledge.
Seems like the best fix would be if the images posted to the wiki by Pine were to be tweaked by Pine to maybe solve this issue for everyone, as KPhillis pointed out. Or even if they can remove the 500MB of zero data, like ModMy360 said. It seems many of us want to use the DD images over PhoenixCard, but are left with the options of putting a smaller image on our card, or using PhoenixCard. I thought I even read a post by TL saying he tries to make sure the images fit on the card sizes, but it seems like maybe that's hit or miss in the community.
