XL / XXL (HOME)

I have just found my TomTom which was lost for 2 years,  Plugged into computer and did a backup then computer searched for latest updates but gave me an error message: 

ERROR: HomeBase/IO: Error writing file: F:\ttgo.bif

@ .\portable\cfile.cpp(1953)

Tomtom says it now has no maps so I went to do a restore from backup: failed with error message

ERROR: DesktopLib/FileCopy/Error: An error occurred. Unable to create the files required to copy this item to your computer.
@ .\controller\FileCopyThread.cpp(161)
An error occurred while reading this file: "C:\Users\Jill\Documents\TomTom\HOME\Backup\ONE XL\Backup01\InternalMemory\art\cars\-default.bmp"

Now nothing works.  Please help.

Maybe the filesystem was damaged before you've done a backup, and now can't copy that .bmp file. Just try to update it again, and copy the map from your backup to the device (under Manage my ONE in HOME).

When I clicked on Manage my One XL it started to load but then gave the following message:

ERROR: DesktopLib/DeviceItemScan/Error: Error during scanning for navigation items HomeBase/IO: Error reading file: F:\art\cars\-default.bmp

@ .\portable\cfile.cpp(1944)

00000570.

@ .\framework\DeviceItemScannerThread.cpp(74)

in .\framework\DeviceItemScannerThread.cpp:74

Stack:

0. function errorAbortTask   chrome://tthome/content/logic/ttTask.js:510

        error(e);

1. chrome://tthome/content/logic/dllUtils.js:77

            this._errorCallback(e);

2. chrome://tthome/content/logic/dllUtils.js:69

            this._errorFatal(error);

so I still have no maps.

What else can I try please?

As long as you have the backup: Try to format the device, then try to update, and we will see what happens.

I switched it on this morning and the map loaded - so now in working order.  Many thanks.
