My only suggestion would be to reformat your SD card. Copy everything
off of it, if you can, reformat it as FAT32 on your PC and then pop it
back into your Booksense XT. I've had trouble with some SD cards after
formatting them with the Booksense itself, so I just format them with
the PC. BTW, I did report this problem to HIMS. Popping the SD card back
into your Booksense will create the necessary folders on the SD card.
You can then copy your material back onto the SD card. As I type this,
you could probably copy the material back before popping it back into
the Booksense, but I'd double check the Booksense was OK with everything
before spending the time to do that.

You say it isn't your PC, but it could be the SD card itself. How large
is the SD card? Are you plugging it into a card reader on your PC or are
you using a USB cable to attach your Booksense to your PC? In the second
case, you may have a problem with your Booksense, and you may want to
think about reflashing it's firmware. How old is the SD card? They only
have a finite number of reads and writes in them and they're only built
to handle a certain number of inserts into a SD card slot.

You may also want to take this question to the Booksense list. You may
get some better suggestions there. To subscribe to that list, you can
