GNS480 file missing from datacard

[xavierde]

I was trying to update my database today and ended up deleting a file from the 480 card by mistake! It’s a file named info.dat located in the upsat folder. Anyone faced the same situation?

No but if you have an old windows 7 pc i can send you some recovery software to restore it unless it was overwritten.

That would be great. I tried some old MS-DOS commands yesterday but no luck.

Thank you!

Did you try the undelete command?

Typically it finds the old files that have had their name/address altered....

Then sort of renames it to make it useful...

You still have to rename it with the proper full name so it can be used...

This will only work if nothing was able to be written over it...

 

PP thoughts of DOS 102 reconstituted.... wicked old memories. 

Best regards,

Thank you so much. 

No luck there unfortunately. There was a file but it does appear to be corrupted. I'll call Garmin in the morning.
