Hi there, Have you tried Service Reset (Reset with Record button)? If reloading KS7.5 image does not work, then Service Reset would be the way to go. This error message has numerous roots, but the theory that comes to mind is hardware miscommunicaiton. Suppose that the BrailleNote's CPU (the device that runs program instructions) was told to access some files on the Flash Disk. While the Flash Disk was being accessed, the user might have pressed Reset button, telling the CPU to stop whatever it was doing and restart keySoft. This is called an "interrupt signal." Occasionally, there might be situations where, after the software has restarted, it still thinks that another program is using the hardware that it was trying to access in the past. Thus, in theory, this "Flash Disk isunavailible" means that the BrailleNote thinks that the Flash Disk is being used by another program, which is unlikely. The only effective way to stop this behavior is "unplugging and plugging a computer to the wall outlet" - hardware reinitializaiton via Service Reset. When this reset is performed, not only an equivalent of dots 4-5-6/JKL reset is executed, but internal clock and other hardware is "switched off" then "restart." I guess this explains a lot about what's going on. Cheers, Joseph P.S. Any computer science experts, did I explain/use those terms correctly? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Betsy Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2008 8:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Braillenote] urgent help needed, cannot find flash disk
Hello, My BN just locked up as it sometimes does when the network card is inserted and when I pressed reset I got the message "the flash disk is unavailable, please press reset with no keys held down." I did this and received the same message, reloaded keysoft 7.5 build 28 and received the same message when it was done. I'm fearing the worst, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
