Restoring a dead Pocket PC

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Well, I recently left my pocket PC alone for a long time, and the bateries
went completely dead. Needless to say, everything was lost on the Axim. How
do I restore it to how it was before?

Just putting it in the cradle and syncing it didn't seem to work. I think I
named it differently. How do I find out what I called it before??

Well, I THOUGHT I backed it up, but when I go to restore it, I get a file
error. Oh well, live and learn. Now I gotta try and get it setup to how it
was before. Dang sure I'll be backing it up this time!!!

Better yet, be sure to plug it in when not in use.
