5x00 General discussions / Erasing Storage Memory Without Rom
« on: January 21, 2005, 01:34:22 pm »
Hey all,
I just got a Zaurus SL-500d from work, and have been futzing around with it a bit.
I installed OpenZaurus (borrowing a card reader), partitioning it to 24 megs memory and 8 megs storage, but accidentally installed an IPK to root instead if a memory card, filling the root partition. Since the application didn't install properly, it doesn't show up in the package manager.
I tried a full restart to clear the storage area, but that didn't help. Hell, I tried taking the battery out, and that didn't help. I currently don't have a USB cable, as the one I got with the Zaurus was broken sometime before I acquired it.
How would I erase the storage portion of the memory?
Thanks,
Gaelan
