windows mobile 6.5 - Motorola MC55 - strange directory names in device explorer view


On Windows XP in device explorer view while I explore the content of my connected via Active Sync Motorola MC55 device I can see strange content. Look at the attached file. enter image description here

What may be wrong? Regards


Solution

  • That looks a whole lot like the FAT is corrupted on the file store. A bad flash driver can cause this as well, but that would typically show up immediately and on every device. If it's a single device, or happened after time then it's likely a flash sector corruption. Reformatting the flash will likely correct it (though how you do that on your harward I don't know).
