Hi, All -

I have been using my MP130 recently, with a 4Mb flash card. Tonight, I
realized that I had an older version of AssistCalc installed. I deleted
the old version, and installed the latest version from the Catamount
site. After a couple of calculations, I tried to open Notes using the
button built into Backtrax, and got an error message. Figuring I might
have messed something up, I rebooted. I then got a message that the
flash card appeared to be new, and did I want to erase and format it? I
removed the card without erasing it. After a couple of remove/insert
cycles with the same message, I tried the card in my MP2100, with the
same results. I haven't tried to format the card, in case there is some
way of salvaging the data.

I have a backup from last weekend, and also a sync with Claris
Organizer.

Does anyone have suggestions about the possibility of recovery of the
data on the card, or is it likely gone?

Any thoughts on the viability of the card, assuming I can get it to
format (assuming the data is not recoverable)?

Thanks!

 - Don
