Joe:

Are you getting this message on the PC or on the Braille Plus itself?  At what 
point do you get it?

Have you reflashed?

Hi, Pamela,

I ran CHKDSK.  There were quite a number of cross-linked chains, which when 
fixed, gave me another
70 megs.

Even so, I cannot access the drive.  I'm still being asked if I want to format 
it.

If this is a sign of drive failure, it's why I have been concerned about using 
the drive for reading
books.

I will see if I can move some files onto the SAID card.
