Thread for all built-in-storage problems

[seahawkflyer41]

Start a hard reset by holding done the power button and reset switch, then press the hard reset cancel button.

This worked for me and everything in BIS returned. I've had my Axim x30h for almost a year and this is the second time its happened. Both times I cannot find the cause, but each time this solution works.

Please note that as far as is known, this does NOT work on the X50v ... seeing as how this thread is in the X50 forums and all

Aaarg. Its still doing it!

Has anyone else had there BIS actually copied into a duplicate BIS 2?

The "Built in Storage" becomes empty, and a new directory called "Built in Storage 2" appears will all the orignal BIS's contents. This directory has an icon showing it to be a disk, not just a standard folder, and the normall BIS directory appears as a standard folder (no special icon). Nothing is lost, but shortcuts obviously dont work, and its ****ing annoying.

Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

This happened to me for the first time today, after trying to install some new programs. The weird thing I noticed was a pop up asking about how I wanted to handle the mail sync between my computer and the Axim. I didn't give it much thought until my I noticed no more icons for shortcuts. I ended up with a "Built in Storage" folder that had another folder called "Inbox.mst29736001.26711766704".

The first time, going through explore from the active sync window, I copied the entire "Built in Storage2" contents to my CF card. Then I deleted the "Inbox.mst.... folder". Then copied everything back into the "Built in Storage folder".

The second time, I just deleted the "Built in Storage" folder and although I couldn't change the name of the "Built in Storage2" folder, once I did a soft reset, it was changed back to "Built in Storage". Very strange stuff, but I'm back to normal now.

This happened both times when I couldn't complete a program install. I seem to have better luck if I do a soft reset after each time I instlal something new.

You have to scroll down a ways.

The Axim is attempting to put email attachments into the "Built in Storage", even thought I have checked the box to store attachment in my storage card. And it shows the amount of used and available memory on the card too.

I have a Kingston 2GB pro elite card and I'm on my second one. The first one was hit and miss (mostly miss) as to whether the X50v would recognize it. I retunred it for a new one. This one I formatted in my camera, and it seems to work better, although if I do a soft reset, with it in and wifi turned on, the Odysey Client won't start up. Go figure.

I haven't attempted to change my registry yet, but it looks like that's where I'm headed next to get this "Built in Storage"-"Built in Storage2" problem resolved.
