I just recieved my 64mb cart in the mail today, and was all excited to try it out when, after installing everything, I tried to transfer something to my GBA and recieved this error:
Start writting ...
Checking ULA....
Launch BIOS...
USB.Linker Found
Flash not found!!!
I JUST got it and I'd like to know what's wrong... I have the cart in there and everything, and I'm using F2APowerWriter 1.01.

Go to system settings and in hardware explorer you deactiavte the flasher and activate it again. The drivers are poorly written and there are already new ones on flash2advance.com, but the download is broken :(

I tried that... it detects that the USB iLink is there, and the screen comes up on the GBA saying Linker, but it keeps saying "Invalid Cart" and "No flash found...." :(

Is your Gba in multiboot mode? When you power it on, hold 'Select' + 'Start' then start the transfer.

It is in multiboot mode... I hear the little chirp noise and see the link screen on the Gameboy... but it says "Unknown Cart!!" on the screen =/

Devo,
My F2A does the same thing. Maybe you have the same problem...
Just keep pushing the "Write Flash" button over and over and over and over until it manages to find the cart. Usually for me it takes 5-10 clicks before it does the write, but sometimes I have to do it for 20 seconds.
Stupid, I know. I keep waiting for a decent driver to come out. I have to reinstall the crappy thing on a regular basis.

I tried that, but it still doesn't seem to work. It just keeps spouting out "flash not found." I think it may be a defective cart. :(

It could be a defective cart... you may want to see if you can find a computer running something besides XP and try it from there.
Other guys on the forum have suggested cleaning the contacts in the cart. Might be worth a shot.
