    Well, that is exactly the reason why SD should not be formatted at all.
    And if you really have to use the dedicated formatter from SDCARD.ORG
    By the way: you theory is not correct
    There is nothing to flash on a TT and the bootloader is only a file on the SD or internal memory - it is being installed into the resident flash memory of your device.
    There is not interaction between SD and BL apart from the fact that is a file stored on the card.
    It is not possible for a TT to create partitions, so I assume something went wrong on your PC rather than on the TT.

    Confirmed using a TomTom One XL. You have to do a cold boot the first time (hold on/off button until you hear the TomTom drums or insert pin into RESET keyhole if your TomTom has one).
    Also, the TomTom One XL reads EITHER the internal memory OR the SD/SDHC card. This means that if you want to use a map from the SD/SDHC Card you have to copy all of the system files to the card.

    Absolutely correct. This applies similarly to all pre x20 models like the x00's, x10's (510/710), Ones & One XL's

    This is not right. I have a G0730 with internal memory and also a sd card slot. If the internal memory is full you can use a map from sd card without copying system files to memory.

    It IS correct (see my previous post) because your device like x20/x40/x50's CAN use either and/or both as you say but NOT the older models.
