On Linux, one uses the mkfs command to reformat a partition, choosing the vfat type, in this case. I don't know whether the mkfs command is available on the 770, I reformatted the card's first (and only) partition on my main computer. If you don't have Linux, you can reformat it on Windows and other systems too, it's a standard FAT32 partition. > On 12/30/06, *Nicola Larosa* <nico at teknico.net > <mailto:nico at teknico.net>> wrote: > > Kahlil Johnson wrote: > > I have a problem where the MMC becomes a read-only filesystem after a > > period of time this means that I can't write to the device. > > The Linux kernel remounts filesystems as read-only when there are > errors > using them.

Try reformatting it. -- Nicola Larosa - http://www.tekNico.net/ All we're asking is that you stop spreading misinformation about the current state of dynamic languages to the press, analysts, and your customers. This does not require you to champion or otherwise support these technologies - just stop lying about them. -- Ryan Tomayko to James Gosling, March 2006
