As much as I would hate to say it, it seems as though you cannot resurrect
the data. I usually advice keeping the all data on two computers as well as
the handheld (e.g. by making a complete copy of the Palm profile directory
on the desktop). I personally keep my data in 4 or 5 different places.
I wish there was a backup mechanism on the Palm itself, but there is not.
Space is tight in handheld devices and backup responsibilities are
delegated to the desktop, which in turn should be backed up as well. Has
the handheld owner, at any time in the past, formed a mirror or copy of the
hard-drive?
Hope it helps,
Roy
