Rename Internal Card at T5

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

Hi,

when I try to rename the internal card on my T5 according to:
"Rename your internal flashROM drive to something other than its default name of INTERNAL. For example, rename it to "FlashROM". Use the included CardInfo app and select "Rename" from the menu."

It is renamed but after the next reset it again shows the name INTERNAL.
Has anyone managed to rename it persistently?

You aren't by any chance doing a hard reset are you?

If so, I believe the Palm may reformat its internal flash when
you do that.

Same thing happens with the Tapwave Zodiac - you can rename the
internal card, but the change doesn't survive a soft reset. No cure
as far as I know.

Sorry if I double post, I tried to post earlier but I think it didn't
work, so am trying again.
