I'm gullible; I'll believe anything :-)

That's the version I used, but then my iPAQ is an older version so maybe
better
supported. It's also the only version at
http://handhelds.org/download/bootblaster/.

Not that I remember. But then I didn't have anything on the WinCE env that
I wanted to keep - so I downloaded the BootBlaster and the new BootLDR
image,
copied them to the iPAQ and installed the new BootLDR. I've got quite an
old version - 'cos I followed the tried and tested method from the Familiar
v0.6 release. There are new versions at
http://handhelds.org/download/bootldr/
which might be worth looking into.
