Madolenone,
I will leave it to others to explain the details of the software--but, basically, you "partition" the SDHC card into two pieces (partitions). The first partition is small--only large enough to hold CHDK and your various script/other files. That one partition is formated as FAT16 and set to "bootable".
The second partition is large and formated to FAT32 (typically larger than 4GBytes in size).
The camera will see the "first partition" when turned on (and boot CHDK). Then CHDK (I would guess) as it loads, redirects that Camera to write the Image files in the 2nd partition.
Now, when you try to use the two partition card on a Windows computer--for some unknown reason, the software/driver folks assumed that external memory cards would only have one partition--unlike hard drives which are assumed to have one or more partitions.
So--what needs to happen is either you change your memory card driver to look for more than one partition--or use Microfunguy's software. Load up his software and it can "tell windows to look at the second partition instead of the first--swap partition".
Now, when you open your "folder explorer"--it will be looking at the 2nd partition where your images are stored. And if you want to load a new version of CHDK or some script files--you will have to tell Windows to swap back to work on the first partition.
Here is the long, bloody thread, on how people figured the problem out and what to "do to Windows" to make it work:
Autoboot with 8GB and HDHacker PossibillityOr, you can use Microfunguys SDM installer and save yourself more Windows confusion:
StereoData Maker Also, there may be issues regarding which cameras can support dual partition boot and which version(s) of CHDK support dual partitions.
The latest mainstream version of CHDK is here (usually works--but is still a beta development build--so save your last working version of CHDK for emergencies):
