Lost system folder, help would be appriciated

marcinJ13 · 03-11-2008, 11:41 AM

Hello all.

After waiting for long time for my Cybook, I got it this morning. I immediately connected it to charge battery and left for work.

Sadly my younger brother managed to put his hands on the device. After connecting it to windows Vista, stupid system suggested to him to format "hard drive" to make it useable. So he did.

Now after reseting Cybook, I can see the splash screen and then checkered pattern. I connected it through USB and can see that System folder contains absolutely nothing.

So if anyone can help me with obtaining missing files it would be great.

Also I welcome any ideas how to inflict slow and painful death to my brother.

If you don't want to post it on the forum, you can contact me at: Marcin@Jankowski.com

Thanks in advance

MJ

Hi, MarcinJ13, I have a backup of the files. I can send them to you by email, attached, if it's ok with you.

And boil the younger brother in oil!

Oh, keep the computer behind a locked door from now on to prevent any further hiccups
