You can't know where your data is placed. It's an SD card, not a flash disk. > Has anyone ever had that? I mean that an sdcard get's fubar-ed by a g-shock? At least in my FR, the battery sits loose enough in the battery compartment that it does not maintain contact with the battery connector when dropped 1.4 m onto gravel. Thus if the SD card might get fubared by sudden removal of power, it might also get fubared by a g-shock. > Very strange.. :S anyway, I'll try to boot some more the the 512MB > card.. is there a way to tell whether the FR is booting from the SD > compared to the NAND? can I erase the NAND rootfs somehow?
