Hi Sharon, Well, I hate it when this happens, and it has happened to me two or three times when I've been away on vacation and tried to put more email on my PK than I should at one time. Although, in my cases, I could always turn the unit off and on, I just couldn't access the flash disk. Not sure, but I'm thinking I just kept pressing enter to go through all those prompts, and eventually I got out of them and could at least access the system disk.
There are, however at least a couple of ways to fix this--or, well, at least a couple that I have either used or read about that have worked. One way can be found in a message John Gallagher posted to the list last August when he had the problem: http://list.humanware.com/archives/braillenote/2006-August/053933.html The other similar way, I know about myself because Dean Jackson very nicely talked me through it once, and then just gave me some instructions to fix the problem the second time it happened. I did pretty much the same thing as John described in his message, except that I just used the HyperTerminal program, and not the visual display program. I further used the double serial cable that came with the PK, connecting one end into the serial port of my PC, while of course connecting the other end into the all purpose serial port on my PK. So, with the PK connected to the PC, I went to HyperTerminal and set up a new connection, using com 1 in my case, 115200 bits per second and no flow control. I then made sure the PK was completely off with a C1 and C4 reset/turn off. I then held down the escape key on the PC while turning on the PK with the C1 and C4. I then continued to hold down the escape key for about ten seconds. I then pressed enter on the PC, I then typed the letters epsm and pressed enter, and then I typed the letters ereg and pressed enter a second time. I then performed another C1 and C4 reset on the PK and my flash disk was back.

I put my Wireless card in my PK, went to the options menu, configuration menu, wireless and turned it on. Then I went to keymail and said read emails, inbox, when it said connect using which configuration I pressed space to select my home account which is the only one I have but it wasn't there. I tried this a number of times with the same results I even tried typing in the name and got a response that it does not exist. So I went back to the wireless menu and tried to connect that way but all I got was searching for a connection. I then did a C3 C4 reset thinking this might bring up the connection but instead I got the message "operation language, press enter for English" so I pressed enter but it did nothing. None of the keys would respond so I did a C1 C4 reset and then I got the message "flash disk is not available, do a reset with no keys held down" but the C3 C4 reset is no longer working, I can't turn it off using C4 the only thing that works now is the C1 C4 but every time I turn it back on using these keys I get the same message. I have left out a few steps I did along the way but they were all just reset with either the C3 C4 or the C1 C4 and each time I got one of the messages above. I have rung my local Humanware person but I had to leave a message for them to get back to me so I thought I would also try here to see what suggestions people might have. I have to leave for work in a hour so it looks like I will have to take my Classic today. Thanks for any suggestions at the moment I will take anything. >From Shaz.
