Yes, this is why when I had to transfer my files to the Pac Mate, I had no problems. All of my documents were stored on compact flash cards.

You can get them from Radio Shack, Best Buy, Circuit City, or any of the Walmarts, Ames, K-Marts, Sam's Clubs, or Coscos in your area. I don't know wether any of these stores exist outside the US and Canada, but they are accccessable in electronic and computer stores. To the gentleman who lost his compact flash disk drive, I forgot to say that you should go to Main Menu before doing any resets or you may really lose your information.
