Hard Reset. Everything will be wiped but BIS and your SD/CF Cards.

That's normal if you have a 256MB Card.

Stick it in a card reader on your PC and Format to FAT32.

Hard Reset: Depress Soft Reset Button on the side and press the Power Button at the same time.

On the X5 it's best not to use your stylus as it will eventually press a hole in the side grip.

Actually not a good idea to use your stylus on any Axim to reset.
It can damage the tip and lead to scratches on your screen.

A card reader is a seriously good investment in terms of bangs/buck. Especially if you have a digital camera, mp3 collection, use betaplayer etc...
