Restoring After a Hard Reset
- There is a completely undocumented function on PPCs, which allows TuBu to restore files from the Storage Card immediately after a hard reset. Experiment on your PPC before disaster strikes, so you'll be familiar with the procedure. Here's how:
- Show the keyboard. Pop up the Start Menu. Now, dismiss the Start Menu, by pressing the Exit button on the side of the PPC - not by tapping anywhere else on the screen. On the keyboard, enter "run23" without the quotes (sounds like "one - two - three").
- A little dialog will pop up, where you can enter the complete pathname of a program to run, including programs that are on the Storage Card. To run TuBu from its location in the root directory of the Storage Card, enter this:
"\storage card\tubu", with the quotes. If you don't enter the quotes, it'll say that it can't find "storage". "Storage Card" doesn't have to be capitalized, and the ".exe" extension of TuBu doesn't have to be entered. When you tap OK, TuBu will run, and you're just a couple of minutes away from being back where you were before it hit the fan.
