I'm having problems with my TomTom XL. It's new so I tried to update the map that was in it, bad idea, I didn't realize that i had to remove the old one before I added the new one. When I realized that I would not have enough space to finish loading it, I aborted the install. There was another problem, however, no maps came up when I tried to turn it on afterwards. I went to "Home" and then "Manage My XL" and I discovered that it did not show any maps. My first thought was to scrap the whole thing and reformat, so I backed everything up on my computer. Then I thought I had better not mess it more than I already have.
This is what "Manage My XL" looks like after I removed everything.
This is what it looks like when I check the "TomTom" device properties.
This is what it looks like when I select all the files in the "TomTom" device.
Notice the difference between the second picture and the third. I think some file must of become corrupt.
Now I have a couple of questions.
I've had it for literally less than a week and I loved it the short amount of time I had it.

Now I have a couple of questions.
- Will formatting my TomTom invalidate its warranty
- What settings should I use if format it?
- How do I re-install the actual data back into the TomTom device once I've formatted it
