Hi Helmut,
=A0 =A0Sorry for the problems. No real good ideas here, but assuming the Win 7 VM is on the same Gentoo machine then it appears to be something
missing from Gentoo. I'd start by using the Win 7 disk tools:

Control Panel -> System & Security -> Create & format hard di= sk partitions

and look to see what Win 7 believes it's talking to.

=A0 =A0Also, make sure if you have the VM running that it isn't
automatically mounting the Garmin which would make the SD unavailable
to Linux. Handle that in the Virtualbox->Device menu.

=A0 =A0Best of luck. Sounds like an interesting problem, if that's poss= ible.

Cheers,
Mark
