Loading Flash Memory

You can download all of the reader's flash memory from a host computer if the
Boot Loader menu displays the "Bad BIOS Checksum" error message, if the
flash memory is corrupted, or if you need to upgrade the reader's software.
Loading flash memory replaces:
• drive C, the 512K ROM drive resident in flash memory.
• drive D, the 2MB ROM drive.
• the 256K flash system image.
Also, because you will reboot the reader near the end of this process, the
contents of the physical RAM drive (drive E) will be destroyed.
Caution
When you load the reader's flash memory, all data in conventional memory
will be lost.
