Accidentally i format my build in 27gb memory partition with hp_make_bootble_usb tool. Since the device does not recognize the memory I tried format again with built-in windows format comand I chose fat32 file system but the device still says the memory not support or damaged ....
on all Computers its detects and uses it with no problems ....
Is it possible to reformat the memory through the maemo system?

The same thing happened to me with my 16gb sd card but there the file manager recognized him and gave me a chance to format it so that everything worked out .... but in this case he did not appear at all in file Manager

You are saying the N900 does ~not~ recognize the internal memory at all?

What if you do sfdisk -l

Do you see /dev/mmcblk0p1 in the list?

maby all i need its to remount the partition? how?

That listing looks as it should!

You can try to mount it manually with 'mount /home/user/MyDocs' as root, or "even more manually" with "mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs", but I doubt it will help.

EDIT: added some parameters taken from http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash. (-F32 shouldn't make any difference in this case)
To format the partition from N900: mkfs.vfat -F32 -s64 /dev/mmcblk0p1
Try to mount manually after that.


Note: There are plenty of programs available for Windows which probably can help in getting much of the original content back (in most cases). But that should of course tried now (using USB mass storage mode), before formatting once again .

thanks its help, after format with the n900 i manualy mount and all work ok...
