I am reposting the following message because of email problems we are experiencing at my work site. If this turns out to be a duplicate, I apologize in advance for the clutter.
Some would like to propose that there is a clear and present fix for this one. The evidence is unclear on this issue. I always kept my cf card in my Braillenote, never removed it. And, I was never asked to reformat the card. In the previous mother board (the original one) version, my flash disk crashed three times. However, insofar as being asked to reformat cf cards, (or not being asked and suddenly finding a clean card with none of my files on it) this never happened to me. I don't think one can jump to the conclusion that if you don't keep your card in your Braillenote you won't have a problem. Not quite that black and white. PDI, you will note, doesn't know why it happens to some and not others. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Henrichsen Sent: Monday, July 26, 2004 12:28 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Format Snair; Narrowly Escaped Hi, Laura. Don't say that. Lol. I don't know why I have never had a problem with my flash disk. If others have, I wonder what the variable might be? What if they left things open when turning off their unit? I try to make sure I don't do that unless I am sure I will turn on my bn in a few minutes. But if I know I will be heaving it off for an hour or more, I won't turn it off while in a file. Still, I wonder what causes some people like yourself to lose files and others like me, knock on wood, not to.
