274 Settings are stored on an otherwise-unused sector of your hard disk, not in
275 any of the files contained in the Rockbox build. Therefore, generally
276 speaking, installing a new build does \emph{not} reset Rockbox to its default
277 settings. Be aware, however, that from time to time, a change is made to the
278 Rockbox source code that \emph{does} cause settings to be reset to their
279 defaults when a Rockbox build is updated. Thus it is recommended to save your
280 settings using the \setting{Manage Settings} $\rightarrow$
281 \setting{Write .cfg file} function before updating your Rockbox build so that
282 you can easily restore the settings if necessary. For additional information
