Hello,

Thought I'd pass this along just in case anyone else has had the same trouble.

First of all I had a 2GB San Disk SD card I partitioned to try dual booting (half fat/half ext2).

Due to various software running (Canola is great but seems to index your card and cause problems like locking up and your device appears dead - while it's writing something on the SD and .... corrupt SD card)....my SD card got really messed up - all the partitions were a mess and the card seemed to the point of being un-usable. I couldn't get a Linux system to recognize it. The sfdisk utility on the N800 wouldn't fix it for some reason....unable to re-write the partition table....

Finally I tried this HP utiliity under Windows and it redid the partition table and restored the card to one big partition with a format and it is now working.

Not sure if the utility will stay there but it was a great help! Better than throwing away a brand new SD card or going through the hassle of trying to find the receipt and get an RMA.
