Hi Dennis, I'm not really sure what to say about your problems on your flash disk. First of all, if you haven't done it, you probably should ;come very very familiar with Chapter 13 of the manual "the file manager" or something like that.
If you have a pc and active sync installed, you may want to examine your flash disk with the "explore" option. You will often see things that are not as obvious with the directory option of the file menu. don't forget to check for subdirectories that the folders option doesn't show. Don't forget, too, to check for hidden files. Sometimes these will eat your lunch. It sounds like this calls for a call to the PDI technical support. If you can catch anyone there, I'm sure they can help you out. Maybe someone like Dean could tell us all on the list if there are any files required on the flash disk for the BN to boot up properly, and, if so, what they are. Hope these suggestions help. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Dennis Freedman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "\"List Braillenote\"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2003 15:27:54 -0000 >Subject: [Braillenote] Reclaiming flash disk space for restoring >orreinstalling software >Hello, and apologies as I have had this problem a year ago but can't find >the solution offered. >My Mail database has got corrupted.
