Re: Internal MMC suddenly read-only...
I recently had a problem with a "corrupt" FAT filesystem SD card - I reinserted it several times into the N800 but each time the N800 would refuse to mount the card as it was "corrupt". I mounted the card once (and only once) in a Windows XP PC where I could read all the files just fine, so I returned the card to the N800 where it mounted immediately and without complaint from the N800. I've no idea what changed, but seemingly the Windows PC silently "repaired" whatever the N800 was objecting to. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: Internal MMC suddenly read-only...
Hi! This has happened to me some times. It seems the file system on the card gets broken so what I did is backup my files, format the card and restore them later. If you have some utility for restoring FAT file systems you could try it, otherwise, you better format the card. Bye!

Use diskcheck in windows (right click drive letter, properties, tools, error-checking, check now). In linux there is fsck.vfat command. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
[NOT SOLVED] Internal MMC suddenly read-only...
I lied... I just tried doing a backup to the card and it told me it's still read-only. Any idea how I can fix this without reformatting the card? (Although, I can, I'd like to know how to do this for real.)
