Yes, I'm still Windows. How do I run "chkdsk/f"? On my laptop via mass storage mode? Or is there a way directly on the N900? By the way, could we identify if it was the 32Gb or the SD card?

Well, does your laptop still bluescreen if you connect your N900 via mass storage? If it doesn't, then it's easy.

Just hook up the N900 via mass storage.
Then you will see 2 new drives in explorer. (eg. F and G drive)

Now go to command prompt in WIndows. (Start - Run - type "cmd")

Then run:

chkntfs f:
chkntfs g:

This just checks for the dirty flag and will tell you which one is set.
Then run:

chkdsk f: /f
chkdsk g: /f

(depending on which drive letter is said to be dirty)
Once the chkdsk completes, it will clear the dirty bit.

if you can't get into windows, you can use a recovery disk if your using vista or 7 and if your still on XP you would need the installation disk and you would boot into the recovery console instead of the installation by pressing R
