I tried using the Panasonic LLF but it only shows up those 11 GBs.

Edit: GParted (a partition manager in Linux) can't find the ext2 partition either. :(

Go with the Panasonic, they will kill ALL partitions, if it is readable....

If NOT, try to USB cable to your tablet and use your tablet, maybe it wont work...

I don't have an SDHC card reader so I wound up using it thru my tablet (USB cable) like I usually do. And it only shows up those 11 GBs even after the Panasonic is done through it. Before, when the partitions would be messed up even that would fix it back to the full size.

*sighs* looks like I'm going have to get this card replaced through the warranty.

Hmm no good, it's not even showing up the right amount of cylinders compared to the count most people have. I'm just going send it back to A-Data and get a replacement (hopefully).

Edit: Hmm.. A-Data's RMA form is really annoying (It asks for a serial # which I input but it always errors out.. I even tried using my 4 GB A-Data card and it still errors). So I sent an email.

i've gone into xterm and entered rm -rf /device/* and nothing happens. i believe i'm in root, it says home usr: but no matter how i type everything into xterm nothing happens. i fortunately took everything off the 2gb card, but it asks to be repaired, i can't see anything on the card when i reformat on the sd. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

the last thing i can see that happened is that it has taken a large chunk of my device and internal memory cards memory. please help me to correct this.

interesting enough though it was booting up differently ''boot menu'', although i now have way less memory than before the whole process.

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
the last issue i have noticed was when i went into xterm and put in "rm -rf /device/*" the program shot off a bunch of information, then rebooted and now just constantly reboots, all it says on the screen is at the top of the screen is (boot from flash). please help
