RE: [iPAQ] Restoring Wince

This problem occurs when wince_image.gz was stored with one of the earlier BootBlaster versions running on a H3800. You did not specify model -- is that correct?

The last sector of flash includes the asset tag information. Later BootBlasters separated this into a separate partition, shrinking the root partition. You can either unzip wince_image.gz, remove the last 256KB, and rezip, or you can restore the whole thing:
        partition delete asset
        partition define root 0x40000 0x1fc0000 0
        load root
and send wince_image.gz
