Strange file created on my mbed - Can run anything anymore.

03 Aug 2012

Hi, guys.

I started fiddiling around with my mbed today. I has able very quickly to stat working with a motor drive. Everything was ok.

I don't know what happened but I lost the connection from the mbed to the pc. When was reestablished, I had one more file on my mbed.

Windows say it has 3.01 Gb, witch I know it is no possible. I've restarted my notebook and the board, with no effect.

I have a picture of what is inside the mbed, right now.

Since that file appeared I can't run anything anymore. I can't delete the file or change it's name.

I can delete my sketch and download new ones, but they do no work.

What should I do? Any ideas?

Not sure what has happened here, but I have regularly 'killed' my mbed while working with the local file system. As a recovery method look at Chris Styles post in this link (5th entry down) http://mbed.org/forum/mbed/topic/399/ which re formats the mbed drive.

I have used it frequently with success, but you will loose the contents of the mbed and be starting from scratch.

Thank you very much, Kevin. I'll try that.
