I am confused since there is a version 145 out yet this thread seems older.  I have 145, but can't get it to make fat32 cards bootable.
CardTricks 1.44 is the latest "standard" version, v1.45 is a special version for DSLR CF card handling.

CardTricks is a GUI, it just calls the good old bootable.exe...
To "update" this to the new FAT32 boot mechanism, the bootable.exe app could be adapted... sources are included in every CardTricks package (\CardTricks\SRC\helper_sources.zip\bootable\ ) ;)

So far, the only ways to do that are via Linux or Apple utilities.  Or using the CHDK in the camera to do that.
Or using a hex editor (e.g. HxD from http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ - free, usable without installation) to write the BOOTDISK tag to the card...

Where should the BOOTDISK label be for my 16GB card?
FAT32 formatted card (cameras with DryOS version >= R47 from year >=2011: offset 0x1E0
FAT12 / FAT16 formatted card (all cameras): at offset 0x40

Well, you could use it to format your SD card as FAT32 and then follow the steps here :

Hello,

I tried to make my sd cards bootable using cardtrick 1.44
Unfortunately this did not work because as soon as I select an sd card the program says "Bootable.exe" does not work anymore.
My laptop is 64 bit with win7. I ran the program as administrator as recommended.

I then used the camera (using this forum, thnx guys) and now the cards are fine.

I do want to know if this is normal or if more people have this problem, and if not, how to solve it as cardtricks is a very usefull tool.

Greetzzz from a very happy chdk user.

Cardtricks is now basically obsolete.   Newer cameras, larger partitions and larger SD cards have passed it by.

Better options can be found here :  http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Prepare_your_SD_card

thnx guru,

my cards are working fine now and I did not have to use card tricks. I used it a long time ago to set up my cards for my powershot A620, but that was stolen a while back and I got an other A630 now and had to install it again.
Took me a while. And I wanted the A630 because of the movable screen which is super te use.

I'm trying to use v 1.44 to make a bootable SD card with CHDK, but bootable.exe keeps crashing.

Any help/suggestions?

This program does not work for your camera (A4000?). It's only for cameras released before 2011.

Read more about SD cards & cameras released after 2010: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Bootable_SD_card#For_Cameras_Released_After_2010_:

CardTricks is pretty much obsolete but somehow people keep finding it.

The STICK utility is a much better option to use these days : http://zenoshrdlu.com/stick/stick.html
