With that said, I seriously doubt that defragging would really make any =3D difference on a flash card anyway, since there are no moving parts. If the =3D defragger removed directory holes, the Book Port may run a little faster =3D when moving between files. >>> walt@xxxxxxxxxx 10/29/04 02:36PM >>> I scared myself very seriously the other day and wanted to warn others =3D not=3D20 to do the same thing. Thinking I'd save a few seconds, I decided to run =3D a=3D20 disk defrag on my CompactFlash card while it was in the Book Port and the =3D BP=3D20 was connected to my PC via the USB cable. When it completed, the BP was=3D20 stone dead and I really panicked, thinking that I might somehow have =3D managed=3D20 to wipe the program out of memory. I pulled the card and replaced it, but =3D no=3D20 joy. Finally, I pulled the batteries and replaced them and it came back =3D to=3D20 life. This was a stupid thing to do in the first place, but Larry's =3D recent=3D20 message indicating that there's a way to load the image from a CF card=3D20 reminded me that I'd been meaning to mention this as something that =3D it's=3D20 advisable to not do, although it does appear that there's a way to even =3D get=3D20 yourself out of that particular hole. -- Walt Smith - Clearwater, FL walt@xxxxxxxxxx=3D20
