TOMTOM lost after Hard reset

[nm8]

I unhid the ext_rom using:

[HKLM\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
Bootphase=dword:2

[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
MountHidden=dword:0


At first I saw ext_rom folder with a few files on it ... I tried to copy them to my micro sd card but recieved an error message saying they are write protected... I tried copying those files again to my computer but my artemis hanged... now I soft reset... i can still see the ext_folder with the files on it... then i soft reset again after that, no more files in the ext_rom folder... I decided to do a hard reset but after that Tomtom did not install...

I know I did not unlock the ext_rom prior to unhiding it...

I managed to unhide ext_rom folder again and clicked on properties.. it shows Total space=14.91Mb, Used=6.24Mb, Free=8.67Mb... I still dont see the files in it...

I guess its still there and it just doesnt auto install after hard reset... how do I activate it again???

Pleas help!

Prior to the program disapearing did you update the TomTom software to vesion 6,030 - Since doing this my Artemis refuses to auto install from the ROM following a hard reset, to install I either locate the Autorun file on the memory card, or connect up via the TomTom Home application which should find the device and offer the update/ installation - Mike

Yes I did... the original installation was 6.020... so i updated to 6.030... have you tried Unhiding your ext_rom?

What else is in the ext_rom anyway? is there any important file in there?

No I have not messed around with the external ROM (yet) - as you have TT 6,030 is there a file on your memory card to install the application? - if not simply fire up TomTom Home on the PC with the Artemis connected and it will install what you need - Mike

NO I have deleted everything from the mem card...
Yes I did use tt home to reinstall tt navigator back to my Artemis...

So far my artemis works perfect... but still Im not happy with the ext_rom not showing the files...

Does anyone know how to re-enable the ext_rom to install after hard reset???
