Hi Karen and list:
Are you stuck in a folder on that card? Press star plus zero to close the
folder. Then see if you can find the files.
It is possible that you have damaged the card but that would be rare. Worst
case you may have to reformat that card and repopulate it.
Cheers,
Dave

Subject: [bookport] removing batteries and possible damaged flash card
Hi folks,
I've spent a few hours searching through the archives looking for a clue
to my problem, but I haven't found anything enlightening, so here's my
dilemma:
A few days ago, my batteries died. I removed them and installed new ones.
My bookport suddenly no longer had any files on the flash card.
When changing batteries, I usually wait 10-15 seconds or so to make sure
the unit is completely off. This time, I don't know if I waited long
enough.
The bookport still works find with another flash card, so I think the
problem lies with the first flash card (which, by the way, is a 1 GB card
I purchased about 9 months ago).
I hooked the bookport up using the USB cable to my computer. The possibly
damaged card showed no files on it. The bookport transfer program tried
to put new Notes and Memo folders on the card. Still no files.
I can look at this card both through the bookport/usb configuration and by
plugging it into a flash card slot on my computer. The card still shows
about 90% full, which is what it should be.
My first guess is that I have lost my FAT table, but my files are still
there. I have no way to access these files, though.
I haven't tried reformatting the card yet, as I have a stupidly slim hope
of regaining access to my lost files.
Anybody have any idea what might have happened, or how I could get back my
lost files?
Thanks
- Karen
