Garmin nuvi and windows 7


Hi,

Recently I formated my Garmin nuvi 205w with windows 7 and since than
I cannot turn it on, its keep restarting, it just makes a beep and displays
the garmin logo and then it turns of again for few seconds and turns on
and goes so forever.

Before, I formated it many times with windows xp and all was fine.

Any ideas??

You screwed it dude...

If you have W7 installed on your PC (same as I do) you can format in fat mode, but no way you can introduce the command.com or the 32bit OS, as W7 has not it anymore...

The way I can think about:

- get a Virtual Machine loader (Sun VirtualBox works for me): http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
- Install the VirtualBox software (won't damage your system, guarantee)
- Downolad from somewhere out there an XP IMAGE file (an XP converted to image, like nero or WinIso) (just google out "windows xp iso image" )
- Install XP (mount XP image) inside the virtual machine, & install the XP as if you were installing it on a brand new hard disk)
- copy all Nuvi CD & install INSIDE the Virtual machine Disk (you will see it as Virtual Disk C)
- proceed as you did before when XP was your system, format the Nuvi, & all over...

Good luck
