OK, I have that:
/home/user # sfdisk -l

Disk /dev/mmcblk1: 973968 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track
Warning: The partition table looks like it was made
for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 973968/4/16).
For this listing I'll assume that geometry.
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

Probably the second one will be enough.

Steps which I've preformed.

1. Connect device to some linux machine.
2. Select "Mass storage" mode on the device.
3. Open console and type "dmesg".
4. Look for follwoing info:
[ 1983.827849] USB Mass Storage support registered.
[ 1984.828702] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access Nokia Nokia N9 0316 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
[ 1984.964233] sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0
[ 1984.967442] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] 18463744 512-byte logical blocks: (9.45 GB/8.80 GiB)
5. Remember the device name. In my case it's /dev/sdb. In your case it can be other descriptor.
6. In console type "sudo umount /dev/sdb". Again it can be other sd in your case.
7. Run in console "sudo fsck.vfat -aftvVw /dev/sdb".

All these command fixed my device. I didn't have to format the device.

Also you can check dmesg in console on your device (in dev mode). You should get some info about locked home partition. In my case there was information that read-only flag was set. There should be even a tip to use fsck to fix issues.

If you don't have access to linux machine try running ubuntu from live-cd.
I can be wrong, but there is a chance that dummy scandisk under Windows should fix it.

Hope this helps.
I'll try.

After trying, I've that:
judibet@PTX-040A:~$ sudo umount /dev/sdc
umount: /dev/sdc: n'est pas monté
judibet@PTX-040A:~$ sudo fsck.vfat -aftvVw /dev/sdc
dosfsck 3.0.7 (24 Dec 2009)
dosfsck 3.0.7, 24 Dec 2009, FAT32, LFN

@judibet,

You didn't say you had an N900, but from your partition table it looked like that, and you've just confirmed it in your last message.

I would *strongly* advise you not to mix up a thread about N9 and instead open a new one.

Search for "Logical sector size is zero." I'm sure this problem has been seen (and solved?) here before.

Yep, perfect, that fixed my MyDocs read-only issues without having to reformat, thanks a lot!

Perfect my problem is fixed now, thank you kindly, however I have plenty different Linux live distribution. Not all of them work with ``sudo`` command. I'm still a ``neophite`` at LINUX and my knoledge is limitted.So I finnally was able to do it with an Ubuntu version. On it, the ``unmount `` command from the console did not work but the ``right click then chose ``unmount volume`` on the N9 icon on the desktop work as fine . At last the " sudo fsck.vfat -aftvVw /dev/sd* " did it's magic . (*) = matching N9 mounted drive volume of course.
Would be fantastic if this could be operated from within N9 some how.
an auto repair like this would be a welcome addition to N9 quick tweek. Dont kill this treath as it may still very usefull for any N9 fans.
