Hey guys, I've been using sdi2hd and sdi loader in the embedded development
kit for a while.....I don't know what's going on but when I build a image to
an sdi disk it takes a good hour and a half if it doesn't freeze, most of the
time it freezes on COM +, but when I do it straight to a folder on my
desktop, its about 15 min max.....I know the memory/processor isn't an issue
on my developemnt machine, I uninstalled and reinstalled the sdi disk
driver....does anyone have any way to speed this up or a solution? thanks
