Question wierd things happening with USB memory card

I finally got a 2 gig card that works on ITG2, it's a kingston data traveler. it works great.........most of the time. the thing sometimes comes up with card mount error, that's fine, I remove it and put it back in and it works. the part that's starting to piss me off is, I will be playing my game and everything is fine, all my custom songs are there. but something will happen sometimes, either the machine is corrupting my card profile or something, but my card will sometimes go into (NoName) and I can't figure it out. it's only happening with this one machine, they used to have 2 at this arcade but one is it pieces sitting in a corner. i'm thinking it's something to do with the custom theme on this machine, it's a green theme, I can't remember the name but if I heard or saw it I would probly remember it. any help would be great. oh, and btw, usually the only thing that helps fix the problem is by using the backup files I have saved on my PC and reformatting the card.

This happened to me a few times, and I had to go through a few memory cards because of it.

The only recommendation I can give is to use a card that you are confident will work. Finding that card can be difficult, obviously. I use a two gig memorex flash drive and it always works fine. Hopefully someone else has additional suggestions.

Does the Data Traveler have some sort of application installed on it, like a U3 drive? Idunno, but the name sounds like it would have some sort of backup app preloaded onto it, and those really mess with machines.

our machnine used to do that alot, though it never corrupted the data from it, it just wouldn't register the card's data and would say NoName. We always just cut the machine off and back on and it was fixed.

Most of the time this happened right after someone would take out their card in the middle of a set, for w/e reason.

i use some kingston 2gb card, and it worked fine for ITG 1 machines, but when i used it with a ITG 2 machine, my scores would only temporarily save, my songs would load, but the step charts would not appear at all, and i could not save screenshots.

the problem usually conflicts with built-in software that might be on the drive, like mine, which came with compression software. the drive would automatically compress saved files, which would make them unreadable.

format your drive, and if it doesn't work, just buy a PNY drive.

all machines do that. Just turn off and on the machine, and you should be good for a little while.

I get "card mount error" even when I unplug and plug back in my flash drive. I'm using a 2gb Corner Office usb flash drive. I've checked stepmania's website and it says that my directory tree is correct. I'm using .ogg and .sm files. No one else is ever really at the arcade when I go, so I don't know if the usb on the machine itself is broken or if it is my flash drive. I go to whirlyball in Plano, TX if anyone knows that machine specifically.

I am not sure if this would help but consider putting less songs on your USB card.

if you have a lot of other files on the drive as well it can cause it to have problems as well, since it seems like ITG reads the entire card for no reason

Well. it might be the machine itself. let me explain.

when you get to the save data screen, "MAKE SURE THAT ITS IS DONE SAVING. IN OTHER WORDS WAIT FOR THE LIGHT OR WHATEVER ON YOUR FLASH DRIVE TO STOP BLINKING". the game is not done saving when it goes to the next screen. the usb ports are still working on the save. Why you may ask? because when you snatch the drive out early it messes up the usb ports. then the next person that inserts his might get a card mount error or a no name bug. then at this poing the machine has to be restarted to refresh the ports.

so thats just a fair warning
