Hi

My internal memory card thinks that it has used up more memory than it actually has. Is there a way to get it to scan? I don't have my cable with me or I would just connect it to my laptop and scan from there.

Any ideas?

Well, you haven't given much specific information, but I'll give you what advice I can. If you enabled swap/virtual memory in the control panel, then up to 128MB of your internal card will be used by that. How much is it showing used? How much should there be? What is telling you this information, and what exactly does it say? Furthermore, if you go into a console (XTerm), type "df" (no quotes), and hit enter, what does it say? Just copy and paste the output in here.
Let me know that, and we can probably straighten this out.

Sorry to be so vague.

I did have virtual memory on but that was not the problem.

I typed DF and got:

Nokia-N810-43-7:~# df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mtdblock4 4096 2660 1436 65% /mnt/initfs
none 512 120 392 23% /mnt/initfs/tmp
/dev/mtdblock4 255488 224652 30836 88% /
none 512 120 392 23% /tmp
none 1024 60 964 6% /dev
tmpfs 1024 0 1024 0% /dev/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p1 1962220 1195284 766936 61% /media/mmc2
/dev/mmcblk1p1 7746736 6626728 1120008 86% /media/mmc1
Nokia-N810-43-7:~#


I had a file that was 1.1 gig on the card (debian image file) I moved it to the external slot and then I was left with around 500mb. So I think that I have lost just over 500mb's what do you think?
