Why should it be bricked just because you format the partition holding the system files? |

Provided you are able to make a backup copy of the "system" folder first, you've got absolutely nothing to lose by trying a reformat. If it doesn't work, THEN you can always reflash with 538. You've lost nothing by trying, and it's a heck of a lot easier than a double reflash.

Damn - just found that I've come to work and left my Gen3 at home . From memory, I think it should be a bit under 10MB, but you might want to check that yourself.

Hold on a minute, KLausPetersen might be on the right track here...
On your Mac, have you emptied the trashcan while your Cybook is connected? I know for a fact that Macs keep deleted information on USB sticks, SD cards, etc until you empty the trash. So if you have deleted a bunch of stuff, but not emptied the trash, you would not see any more memory become available. |

Hmmm.... well I suppose it depends on your perspective. It could be considered a flaw when you can't figure out why your card is full when you've just deleted a bunch of stuff or it could be a life saver if you accidentally delete a bunch of files and manage to get them back.

No problem, glad I could help. It's nice when the solution is a simple one, isn't it? I wonder how many other Mac users out there don't know this little tidbit. I think I only know because I read most of Mac OS X Tiger: The Missing Manual when I switched over from Windows.

Do you think that's the best book for a newcomer? I am also a new Mac owner. So, I was looking for a book to get up to speed. Is there any Apple documentation? I did see something on the root of the hard drive, a PDF but I haven't looked at it yet. BOb |

Not on removeable media. There's no "Trash Can" on those under Windows.
