I do not think SDHC or SD card will make any difference. I just want to test that a corrupted card can be, not guaranteed, resurrected by this way. Just like any Hard disk with a corupted file or FAT, in principle, should be able to fix by repartition. Of course, this canNOT expect to fix a physically damaged card . We are talking about corrupted card only.

One thing to try, just stick the dead SD in your tablet, and perform partition on the dead card, may have to repeat a couple of times, just an example of partitioning,

================================================== =
N810 running 2007.50-2, a 4G Adata micro/mini adapter inserted.
xterm/sudo gainroot
umount /media/mmc1
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 -uM
0,2100,0C
,,,
(return)
(return)
y
================================================== ==

Only if I can generate a corrupted card.........then I can test this again .

This will also change your bootmenu. So please backup bootmenu first.
PB's cloning script, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=22155
===============================================
Clone to mmc, I use 1 G Rs-MMC, use PB's clone scripts, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=20534.
Scrolled down to "SCRIPT UPDATED 11:30EST 5/29/08, http://penguinbait.com/install-tools-ad.tgz and dl the install-tools-ad.tgz into flash, not MMC card.

Place in /root
open xterm
cd /root
tar zxvf install-tools-ad.tgz
This will then make /root/install-tools (it has to be in this location to work)
cd /root/install-tools
Now, carefully read PB's instructions regarding INTERNAL-txt.EXAMPLE and EXTERNAL.txt-EXAMPLE. The 770 has only one SD slot and is internal for the cloning. turn off swap file. Edit the INTERNAL.txt.EXAMPLE to your likeness, and rename it to INTERNAL.txt, and delete EXTERNAL.txt-EXAMPLE; This is my INTERNAL.txt file for a 1 G RS-MMC
" FAT 300
SWAP 128
1 ext2
TIMEOUT 10"

This should generate a ext2 600 MB and Fat 300 MB and SWAP file. and now,
Check:
There is only 1 SD card, right?
swap memory, uncheck, right?
INTERNAL.txt/EXTERNAL.txt only one exists, right?
Now you ready to go

./clone.sh

and wait.......; time to finish, with 48 Mhz kernel, 6.5 minute; without 48 Mhz kernel, 48 min.
Reboot and to add 64 MB swap file, with 48 Mhz kernel takes 7 min to make the 64 MB swap file; without 48 Mhz kernel, it takes 13 min to make the 64 MB swap file.

=================================================
