It's all coming back to me now.? When I attempted to update to L6.02 earlier this year, same thing occurred and the culprit ultimately was that M:Cur_Gem2.bin file (there is a thread on this).? I had to reformat the SD card and you (Paul) provided me with a file, "combined6.02.zip" that I loaded onto the SD card via Windows Explorer then everything worked.?

Is this file supposed to be on the SD card (M:Cur_Gem2.bin)?? If not, any idea why it keeps showing up on my system?? This original L6.0 card came from Losmandy as part of their upgrade kit.? Maybe someone would be kind enough to post a screenshot of their SD card webpage so I can see what this SD card should look like.

Is the only way to remove this "M:" file to reformat??
I don't know how that file gets generated, but I've seen it on some SD cards from L5 days. I found no simple way to remove it, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. Deleting it through a card reader, FTP, or Windows explorer did not work for me. Seemingly because the ':' is normally treated as a special character in Microsoft file systems and isn't considered part of the file name. Even Mac software failed to delete it when I tried. Gemini isn't using Windows, yet this file seems to cause problems for Gemini itself, maybe because the SD card is formatted as FAT or FAT32. Unfortunately, the only way I know of clearing this up is to format the SD card.
