Problem with G7 1.00i

Hi,
I am trying to install CHDK on my G7. I have checked the firmware version and is 1.00i. Following the instructions around here, I have managed to put the files on my 1Gb SD card manually or using CardTricks. I start my camera in playback mode and select the "Firm Update" option in the menu, but gives me the following error: "Update File Error!!!".

I have tried most of the builds for G7 1.00i and even several E,J,A versions with no luck. I even tried to make the card bootable, but the camera freezes and I need to take the battery out to make it work again.

Has anybody encountered this problem?
I will appreciate any help!

@gaffer

- start camera in PB mode (you did that)
- press menu to enter Canon menu
- in the left-most tab, scroll ALL the way down
- firm update entry should be there: select it, press Func, select OK

if it doesn't work, please explain which step fails for you

HTH,

@gaffer:
The file ps.fir from the CHDK package is not correctly stored on the card's root.
