Well two my office colleagues helped me and we used the codes give my Mich to format the 32 GB internal memory. Well most of my data was recovered. Here is what we followed
1) Connected n900 to my pc which has data recovery tool. I was able to recover upto 1GB (free version) data from my corrupted memory.
2) Formatted the 32 GB memory (only 28 GB partition) using Mich's codes and re-mounted the same
3) Copied the data from my computer.
Well I am using it for 2 days now and it is working like a brand new piece. One more advantage is I have all my old softwares / downloads in tact as only the 28 GB partion was formatted. Hence no need to downlaod those again.
Thanks to my two friends (one is prog. xpert and other from IT) amd Mich, it was time consuming but bettter than flashing....
Thanks again to maemo.org....this is a fundu forum and I don't have to serach google for my queries. It's all here.....good going...
Hi,
Please I need help. suddenly I have memory corrupted after i buy the device couple of hours ago. here what happened:
1. i switch on the device, then i explore it and start to download some application from the application manager.
2, meanwhiel, I went to the web browser and it sayd " Operations temporarliy disabled due to low memory".
3. when i start reciving SMS messages i see the preview but could not open it as another message appear " close applications".
4. the ovi map can't started and closed immedaility and I can't open any other application.
then i went to the file manager and i want to access the device internal memory "sfil_li_memorycard_internal" a message then appear " Memeory card format unsupported".
i went through setting> phone > memory and i found that a message wirtten under the device "memery card courrupted" and before that probelm it was showen 32GB as it is the internal deviced memeory.
the external momery are shown to be ok.
the solution i think of is to upfdate the softwear and i found that there is no new update using Nokia softwear update. then i just re-update with the same version but NOT SOLVED.
PLEASE ANY SUGGESTION BESID SENDING IT BACK TO THE NOKIA.
the only thing i can do is just using the device to call.
thanx

So, there are no my 32GB...
In addition, when I get plugged my n900 to PC, a can see two new disks. When I open (explorer) first, I get the message "format or not...". When try to open second, message received "pleas insert disk to drive G:"
