I can't believe I didn't provide more info up front.

I am talking about the 2gb card with the Map info, etc. It is saying readonly filesystem, for some reason. Also, I can't install any new applications or update either. I believe those tasks make use of the 2gb card as well. > > If, however, you're just saying the 2gb shows up in file manager or > whereever as write-protected (an average user doesn't know much about > the 256 or whether it is write protected - I imagine that if it is > you'd have some problems on bootup) then it's just that volume and a > reflash won't make a difference, only a fsck or a format. > I will see what I can do about format.
