Its not really helpful if you can't recall if you either swapped your {/home,/opt} partition with /home/user/MyDocs or not.

I'm sure if you execute sfdisk -l (as root) you should be able to see.

Anyway, here is output of my sfdisk -l output. The only changes here is that I've converted my /home/user/MyDocs to ext3 so the partition type is not original. Though I'm sure W95 FAT32 LBA partition is type b.

Code:

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 977024 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 32768 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

   Device Boot Start     End   #cyls    #blocks   Id  System
/dev/mmcblk0p1          1  884864  884864   28315648   43  Unknown
/dev/mmcblk0p2     884865  950400   65536    2097152   83  Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p3     950401  974976   24576     786432   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/mmcblk0p4          0       -       0          0    0  Empty

I suggest you read sfdisk documentation and try to revert your setup. Maybe that could be the only reason why the reflashing is not working.

FYI, setting a time restriction on this issue isn't going to help anyone. It sounds like as if this device does not belong to you and now you're pressed for time you're hoping the community to provide you quick solutions. That's is not the correct attitude to have when you've created this mess yourself.
