Viewing PDR Files
I am having issues viewing PDR files on my PC. I'm using a 128gb, 80mbs, SD/XC car formatted FAT 32.
I have no problems viewing the recorded files in the car. But I can not find the files on the SD card when inserted in my PC (using a USB card reader).
Thinking that I may have been guilty of shutting down the car before hitting 'stop recording', I went out this afternoon and tried to create three files by having the card inserted in the slot on start up (of the car). Then I hit 'record', drove around and hit 'stop record' before shutting down (the car).
I still can not find the any files on the card. I also downloaded the Cosworth Toolbox and it doesn't see the files either.
Has anyone run across this problem and can you spot the error of my ways?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like PC issues or lack of understanding the PC. The Cosworth Toolbox is awesome BTW. Without knowing anything about you how well do you understand a PC and getting around enough to find the SD card?

The reader is relatively new. So I took the card and readers to vis it the Geek Squad.
Like me, they could see the card but not the files. The geek said that he did see a warning message that said windows did not support the file extension. Wtf!
So I called Chevy customer service. They suggested that I take it to the dealer. That's the dealer who wasn't able to perform the pdr update because they didn't have an SD card!
It's driving me crazy trying to get this working.

I haven't tried a 128gb card- and I don't use windows much- but what happens if you open the windows media player- will the player see the files?
Do you know anybody with a mac that could try it out?

Media player didn't see the files. Tried my wife's MAC, and it didn't seem to work either, but I'm mac expert
So I'm off to another computer shop to try to get help. Stay tuned.
