Hello! I have a Fez Hydra, but Windows 7 still detects FEZ Hydra as a “.NET Debug device” .
As described in
I erased the flash. After this step Win 7 detected Fez Hydra as GPS Device on Com Port 5. Okay…
But after the next stept (Loading Bootstrap) Win 7 detected Fez Hydra as a “.NET Debug device” again.
MFDeploy 4.1 found FEZ Hydra_Gadgeteer (and not FEZ Hydra_FEZHydra as described). And the ping command never cpmes back… ;(
What should I do differently?
Thanks for help!

Are you using a PC with a processor >= 3.0GHZ? Do you have VMWare, or other virtualization software, installed?
Hello! I’m using a 2GHz Processor (i7, Asus notebook). I have installed a VMWare Workstation and Player, but I did’nt use this…
You must stop the VMWare USB Arbitration service to talk to the Hydra until a bug fix is released in the next SDK. THis service is on regardless of whether you are using a VM or not.

There is a fix for the Ping issue that you are experiencing using VMWare. For the computers running VMUSBArbService, it forces the Hydra into a endless loop. This issue is fixed in the soon to be released SDK.
Okay, I try it now. Thanks!
@ Dulcinea
As ransomhall mentioned deactivate this service until the SDK is released.

One last thing, if you would like to test out the fix to verify that it works you can go here to this link: http://www.tinyclr.com/forum/21/5470/#/9/msg55573
Hello! It works! Thank you!
Congratulations, another happy customer 
This coming SDK fixes many things in hydra. Should be the first non beta
