I've done that procedure about 5 times now, and the method I've used is
the last procedure, where you do the eflash .... procedure and then load
the images one by one. Of course, following the instructions explicitly
is important as well. Is this the procedure you used?

Subject: [iPAQ] Problem restoring iPaq, unable to erase flash?

I'm trying to restore a PocketPC image to my iPaq after trying out
Pocket
Linux. I followed the directions on the handhelds.org page for
restoring
the iPaq and this is the error I get at the end when trying to load the
last
4 MB chunk into the boot area. Has anyone seen this problem before?
