Hi,

Is this some kind of phone ?

Have you tried to "fsck_msdosfs" the partition where the FAT filesystem=20
resides ?

Maybe you could do like this:

dd if=3D/dev/urandom of=3D/tmp/myrandomfile bs=3D65536 count=3D64

Then copy that file to the flash. "umount" and "mount". Then copy the file=
=20
back to your disk again. After that you do a:

cat /tmp/myrandomfile | hexdump > /tmp/myrandomfile.txt

Then you compare the two .txt files using "diff".
