Device memory corrupt!
 
I have just checked my memory after having a problem not being able to see the device memory and it says its corrupted!

The damn thing will go out of the window if it has. Whats the recovery steps?

How can I secure my contacts?
Thanks

As root in terminal:
Code:
fsck.vfat -a /dev/mmcblk0p1
Should check and fix the MyDocs area

Thanks but it says both FATS are corrupt. Giving up.

Both? There's only one MyDocs partition...
oh and try rebooting after doing the command.

Yes, but there's two FAT tables on the parition (main + backup). If that's showing as corrupt then you'll have to reformat it:
Code:
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1

Three separate ones. You'll also need to be root to run them, so either "sudo gainroot" or "root" first.

This will format the drive into VFAT, meaning you'll lose all data.

Just to repeat the above: YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DATA when you use those commands to format the device.

Indeed, but with both FAT tables corrupt, I think he's already lost the data.
