Am I about to get into BIG trouble???

[MTHall47]

For the first time I have just encountered a new problem.

I could not get to any data at all, neither in main memory, nor on my CF card. Scared the heck out of me. Made me think if this happened on the desktop I would worry I had a virus or was ready for a system crash.

The apps would open, just no data or images were accessible. Then I reset it, and it worked ok.

What do you think? Any ideas?

I use Dell Axim X5.

Thanks much.

P.S. Can a PPC get a virus. If so, how do you kill it?

It's a common error and is easily reproducable. E.g., try to read in original images taken by Kodak DCS Pro SLR/n with Spb Imageer 1.2 ( http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/imageer/?en ) and you'll see complete garbage in the file system ;) A reset (or, on some systems, reinserting the card) will cure it, sure.

Nope, there're no PPC virii.

Actually there are, but they're virtually non-existant in the wild.
