Hi,

My internal memory card on my N810 has become permanently corrupted it seems.

I have tried to reformat with Disk manager in Windows. Have tried to format with File Manager in 2008 OS. I have also tried to repartition the drive in X Term. All of these fail.

If I transfer a file to the card, it says it has transferred, but when you try to open it, it says it is corrupted.

When trying to install applications, I am unable to, unless I temporarily change the swap file to the ext card (founds instructions for that in another thread). This reverts back, once the N810 is shut down and started again.

So, what I was wondering is there some way I can either -

1) Permanently lock out the internal drive (as if is is not there)

or

2) Permanently set the swap file to the external card, so that I can download and install apps without a worry etc.

thanks in advance for any help.

Well, hopefully, you can fix your problem but if you put the applicaion manager into redpill mode, there is a option for not using the MMC to download packages. This rules out both cards so I don't recommend it but if you need packages to fix your internal card etc.

(BTW, having a swap file on either memory card doesn't affect the location of where packages are downloaded. If I have time later, I'll modify app manager to use only the external card but I would seriously recommend looking into more, fixing the internal card)>
