My Toshiba pocket PC e310 rebooted itself and deleted all programs and info that I had on it. ?

Question

I don't understand what happened. I turned it on and all my data was just gone. I am wondering if there is any chance that the all the data might be automatically saved somewhere in the pc. Had any one had a problem like this?

Answer 1

Unfortunately its probably lost.

Older Pocket PCs like your e310 use volitile memory.  Which basically means it can't store information without power.

If your backup battery is dead and you drain the main battery - you will lose all of your information.  And once its gone ... its gone.

Sorry for the bad news.
