Pressing the reset button doesn't erase the 4GB HDD...there is a software setting that will erase the drive after X number of incorrect password attempts (we get to set X).

According to this Brighthand thread: http://discussion.brighthand.com/pal...=&threadid=989 pressing the reset button is a soft reset. A hard reset will erase the HDD (see near the bottom of the first message in the thread for info on the LifeDrive).

I may eventually come back from the dark side to a WM5 PPC with a 6GB CF MicroDrive, but I've had a MicroDrive failure a couple of days after warranty in the past...
