Question Formatting Drive Questions

Just curious,
How bad would it be if I formatted the drive (Kindle 4NT) when it's plugged into windows.

What would the result be?

Also, is there a way to restore it to original settings, (screensavers and all?)

Resetting to Factory Defaults should be able to clear up any issues that might arise from formatting the user-mounted (USB) drive... hypothetically. But why would you want to?

On a Non-Touch it's OK to reformat the drive, but don't do it on a Touch. The TTS files are in the user filestore on a Touch, and if you reformat the drive you'll lose them.

Well that's good to know, hypothetically, it would be because there are a bunch of files on there from when I may or may not have JB it... Which if I had done, was uninstalled.

How about restoring all the original screensavers?
I have the screen saver files but.. yeah, not sure how to get it back to how it should be.

If you want some help, please cut out the obliquity and ask a straightforward question. Nobody can help you if we don't understand what it is that you're asking!

A factory reset will certainly make your Kindle behave as if it's no longer jail-broken, but it doesn't necessarily remove all traces of the jail-break. Most jail-break packages have their own uninstall programs that you should use for that purpose.

All right, straight forward then.

Before the JB for the K4NT came out, I used
this method to get custom screensavers. That was fine, when ithe JB and SS hack came out I did those.

But now they aren't working... more than likely something to do with the Calibre copy cover to device or something I did wrong. Now I want to get everything thing back to original with the original screen savers and such.

So, there you have it.
