    Yellow popup: Memory corrupted?

    niche | # 1 | 2010-10-18, 15:04 | Report

    Having memory problems, well at least a notification popped up when i plugged my N900 to my pc saying (roughly translated):

    "Memory write-protected until problem has been resolved.
    Plug in USB-Cable in order to try to repair memory via pc.
    Create backup of your data to secure the contents of memory"


    Harsh vibes, what should i do? I couldn't find similar topics about this issue.

    Ran fsck in MyDocs, which supposedly fixed something.

    "Reclaimed 1 unused cluster." "Free cluster summary wrong (5298 vs. really 5299)"

    Is it the OS or rather a hardware thing?

    It almost certainly refers to your memory card, do as it says and run scandisk/fsck on the device (either via the PC or on-device). Remember to umount it first if you're using Linux.

    Got a nod from Ubuntu's drive manager. Both devices are "clean".
    Let's hope it stays that way...
