I can't copy to mbed

When I try to copy the bin file to the embed from my computer, the copy window says: "discovery of elements" (sorry, but I not english, and I don't know how it's in english) If I download it direct to the mbed the googlechrome freeze.

Later I saw, there is the bin file on the mbed, but when I reset the mbed, nothing happens.

What can I do?

Hi Attila,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

The most likely cause of this is the file system getting corrupted. The best thing to do is to format the disk using the windows format utility, and then power cycle the mbed (unplug, plug back in).

If that doesn't solve the problem, let us know.

Thanks, Chris

I have had the same issue and even sometimes the mbed is not mounted. Try on another pc, or try another usb cable. And shutdown completely the mbed(no power, no light, not connected to any power).
