Hmm, I'll have to try that. well, I'll go grab my unit now, copy the root books dir, and reformat, then let you all know what happened. if it works? well, alex, you'll get a hug, heh, because I thought I was going to have to spend hours and hours gettting these files put back on the unit. 


thanks

Have a good day from Tyler C. Wood!

I don't even bother with the transfer software. Once it has transfered files once, I just use the normal copying and such to move everything around. As long as you keep the exact file names intact and make sure everything is in the folders the software put it in, you are fine. Copying and pasting should be no problem. I have done a lot with files on my braillenote, even renameing some, but as long as I put the names back the bp acted like nothing had happened. 

Have a great day,
Alex

I'm not sure that it can be that simple, for though you can move

the entire

bookport folders to your hard drive without any problems, each

time you

transfer something to the bookport, the transfer software also

loads onto

the bookport indexing files and other files that the folders

already have.

I don't know if the transfer software will simply acknowledging

the existing

bookport files that were transferred with the books originally.

Ow, that is going to take a long, long time...I can't just move

the books

folder to my hard drive, format the card, then transfer the

books folder

back onto the root of book port?



thanks

What I would suggest is that if your computer is back in order,

that you

transfer the books back to the computer, and either reformat

your card

and retransfer, or try transferring them to a new card.



Unfortunately, you'll have to transfer the books back to the

computer

manually.  That is, you'll have to look for the bookport root

directory

through my computer or Windows Explorer, which will identify it

as usb

mass storage device drive e or f etc.  depending on how many

more drives

you have on your machine.



Then you'll have to go into the folders, if you set any up, and

look for

the files that you transferred.  The files that you're looking

for are

those that only have the txt extensions, if that's how you

formatted all

the books you transferred.  Ignore the files that have ix

extensions or

other extensions that you do not recognize.  From here you can

either

remove each file with a control X and transfer them to the

desired folder

on your computer, using a control V, or you can open the file,

and then

use the save as command to save it to the folder you want.

Hi, all



Well, heres my problem.  I was reading a book a while back and

the volume

kind of went softer, this is a text file, btw.  So I hit stop,

(number 2),

and nothing happens.  I hit 2+b, and so I got fs card fail.  I

went to play

the file again, or make doubletalk speak again I mean, but it

said there

were no files.  What I did then was removed the batteries, put

them back

in.  it worked just beautifully, I reset my settings, went back

to my

reading, (of course it left off at the place at which I'd

started reading

to begin with), so I moved to where it gave me issues, started

reading

again.  so we get to about 10 more minutes into it, and I hear

buffer

overflow, moving on.  Buffer overflow, moving on.  What exactly

does this

mean? What should I do? I don't want to have to format the flash

card

because i have books on it that I don't have on my laptop

anymore, mainly

due to a reformat of the hard drive.  Can I somehow back these

up, anyway?

This has been doing it off and on.  I'm not sure what I did, but

it worked

fine for a while, but its recently started again, and its

somewhat

frustrating.  I've been using my ipod to read audiobooks, but

this just

goes to show how great the bookport is, I can't live without it.

If I can

back up files, which extention should I look for? (each file has

these

underline, for example, underline db or some such.  Can I just

delete the

underline from a certain file so I can retransfer it? Or is

there another

way to fix this issue? I'm sort of hard put to transfer those

html books

back to the unit, I find it tedius to go into internet explorer

for each

file, hit applications, and send to book port.  I know it can be

done from

book port transfer, but for some reason some html files look,

well, very

wierd on the unit, I get the <p> and </P> taggs, which, well, I

can't

read with those, heh, I can't concentrate on the book.  Sending

from

internet explorer seemed to fix this issue.  I'm not saying its

annoying,

it just involves a bit more concentration and time, which I

guess I have,

that is, if I can back up this here flash card at all (that's

about hmmm,

I can't even count, about 400 mb of text files), no idea how

many files,

perhaps 1000? 2000? quite a few, anyway...why do I even have so

many when

you can only read one book at a time? no idea! guess they just

built up

over the years...<grin>.




thanks,
