And even worse, I forgot to backup my settings :(

Personally, I feel the 64 Meg Nokia provided for applications is plenty.. I installed quite a few applications and have plenty of space left.

Delete the /dev/mmcblk0p1 partition so that there is no partitions on the mmc card. Insert into the 770 and format the mmc using the File Manager utility. Windows should now see the full amount of memory.

Well you could also do it hand

as root:

umount /media/mmc1
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0
