However, there seems to be a problem with mkA10card.sh script (http://pastebin.com/wD4SscMK). Gparted also can't recognize the created partition types (http://oi65.tinypic.com/fnbfra.jpg). I originally formatted the SD Card by SDFormatter in Windows, and it works OK in Windows and Linux, when formatted manually in Gparted. <br /><br />Can you fix the script pls?
