2.1. Downloading the backup software

The software that we will use to backup everything on the PocketPC iPAQ is included in the software that will be used in chapter Chapter 4 to replace the original bootloader. This software can be downloaded from:

ftp://handhelds.org/feeds/BootBlaster/BootBlaster_1.18.exe

I recommend you also download the corresponding md5sum file, so you can check BootBlaster's integrity. The md5sum can be downloaded from:

ftp://handhelds.org/feeds/BootBlaster/BootBlaster_1.18.exe.md5sum

Transfer the BootBlaster_1.18.exe file onto the iPAQ, by following the steps in Section 1.3 and Section 1.4.2.

You can check the integrity by running the following command:

bash$ md5sum -c BootBlaster_1.18.exe.md5sum
BootBlaster_1.18.exe: OK
