Where did BiS go???

[Ashton]

I just upgraded from WM2003se to WM5.0 (I know it's risky, but, that's anotehr discussion entirely) and I was about to copy my BiS back, when I cant find the folder on my device! (so far that's the only problem I've had... so far...)

WM2003 uses RAM as storage this is why you lose your data when the battery and backup battery both die and is why it is impossible to turn the PDA all the way off.

Under WM5 Microsoft moved the data storage to the ROM. The RAM is only used for temporary data that way the PDA can be turned all of the way off and if both batteries die you do not loose all of your data.

Just copy the files over into any folder (or make a new one) and it will be where the BIS used to be. The problem is that this is now used for all data storage and you will not have as much space and you will want to leave more space open so that the Axim is not using the same section of the ROM chip over and over again.
