😃 Ok, we have three partions: disk C:, disk D:, and disc Z: right? The disk Z: its a rom mem, so that�s only for read data. The disk C: RAM mem its the "master disk" with 4MB.
But the D: disk it is RAM with 440KB mem as well, so i tryed to create a folder (Images) in D: using seleq1.2, and next i cut my images in C:\nokia\images folder to D:\images, and it works!!
And the phone works great! hunderstand?? instead of 4MB we have 4.440MB. But we have a problem, if you restart your phone and went to the folder in d:\images, its not there anymore!! Can sameone solve this litle BIG detail? :roll:

😃

That would be great.

It's a very nice discovery. Let's just hope that somebody can fix that "detail"

I'm sure most of us have some knowledge of simple electronic theory.
A RAM means a temperory storage.

Why D drive's data will be wasted when you turn Off. It's good for a temperory storage becoz all data will be resident inside the RAM chip and will be loss upon power off. UNLESS it's a EROM where you are write on the ROM and delete it later with or without electicity intervene.

What you say it about Dynamic RAM. This type of RAM need to be refreshed by power every cycle otherwise the content in the memory is gone. Where as Static RAM, don't need any power to refresh, the content will reside even no power. I think RAM in NOKIA 7650 is static RAM. otherwise the battery will not last this long. My idea is that both C: and D: are static RAM, but D: is the reserved drive for OS. (I may be wrong)
