|
|
my 1 Gb SD card with tomtom 5 maps (and work data) has stopped working. The last significant thing I remember was noticing that a backup from the PDA to the card had failed. The next time I used TomTom the card couldnt be read. Any ideas please? I would like to recover data and the hardware if poss but even being able to use the card again would be something.
Thanks

Have you tried reading the card in a separate card reader? This may give you a chance to recover the data. Then you may be able to re-format the card.

Also, have you checked that the lock on the card has not been switched on accidentally?

Cant you back up the card from a previous backup.....that is presuming that you have been doing them? _________________ TomTom 300

Thanks for your suggestion.
Yes, I have backups of my Ipaq and Qtek 2020i on my PC and the original Tomtom CDs so I can re - install onto a new card. Unfortunatley both my PDAs will not even acknowledge the card is inserted - let alone re-format it!
