Hello Marvin,
This happened to my Voice Note about three years ago. The flash
drive memory and/or its file access table was partly corrupted
and I lost access to all of my stored files and the memory
allocated to them. The unused space seemed to be reallocated to a
smaller flash drive. At the time, tech support suggested I hook
the unit up to my computer using active synch. They said
something about deleting the flash drive, turning the voice note
off and disconnecting it from the computer. Then when I was to
turn the voice note back on, it should rebuild the flash drive
with full space restored and all default files and folders in
place. It has been too long for memory of exact steps so please
do call Humanware Tech support and get the precise steps to
perform this procedure. It might also have required a reset of
some kind in the process but I don't remember. I ended up sending
my unit back to Humanware instead because it also needed new
batteries and a mother board modification, so I let them
straighten out the flash drive mess.
Hope this helps
Richard Ehrler

Subject: [Braillenote] Hidden Free Space on Flash Disk
I tried about an hour ago to download an mp3 file. While
downloading,
I lost my connection to a wireless network at my college. I
waited for
several minutes, but the BN didn't reconnect. I hit the Previous
key
to cancel the download, my BN froze, and I did a reset. I erased
the
incomplete mp3 file successfully, and thought nothing else of it.
A
few minutes later, out of curiosity, (as I normally do from time
to
time) I checked the free space on my flash disk. It was somewhere
in
the range of thirty or forty megs of space less than what it was
before I attempted the download. Knowing there was something
majorly
wrong, I tried ALL manner of resets described in the manual, but
nothing worked, not even erasing EVERYTHING off the flash disk (I
always back up my files, so I didn't lose anything). With the
flash
disk empty, I'm getting a reading of roughly eighty megs free.
(Yes, I
erased everything after the reset, when the BN notices that
things
like the planner don't exist anymore - before taking the
reading.)
What the blazes is going on here? How do I get my flash disk back
to
normal? This is really beginning to scare me. My BN mPower 18 has
been
fine otherwise since I got it back from Humanware near the end of
this
summer.
