Yeah. After removing the battery for five minutes and replacing it, suddenly, *b*o*o*m*, the cards were being read perfectly fine.

Not quite sure what the battery had to do with the cards giving off those errors, though, but it's pretty damned obvious that I don't know a lot about a lot when it comes to my N800

I would always remove the uninvolved card before I issue the format commands, just in case I type something wrong and erase the other card.
xterm
sudo gainroot
umount /media/mmc1 #this may not be necessary
mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk1p1 #******This will erase your card*******
Ah. This is good to know. I'll make a note of this somewhere.

Oh, that will be today, then. They're the worse team in the Majors this year (the year that was suppose to be the one where they make pennant race at least?).

Um... 'swap file'? Um. No?

I haven't tried it yet. From other responses I got in another thread, it seems people have the same version of mplayer that I do but get better streaming video. I figure this problem of mine is just God's way of sparing me the pain of watching the Mariners lose (again) on the n800 by scrambling even the game highlights feed.

I will try it a bit later in the week, though. I figure by then I'll be so depressed that nothing will phase me, including screwing up a reinstall
