just format your memory card using xterm follow instructions here :

http://wiki.maemo.org/Partitioning_a_flash_card

just follow the steps

apt-get install e2fsprogs
umount /media/mmc1
umount /media/mmc2
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk0
/dev/mmcblk0p1:1,15000,6
/dev/mmcblk0p2:15001,,
/dev/mmcblk0p3:
/dev/mmcblk0p4:

then install ( install-tools ) right after u proceed with these , many thanks PB and fanoush for ur efforts love u mates ^^
Not sure why you had to partition the disk prior to running install-tools, but its un-necessary. All you did was partition the card, this is done by install tools already.

Its possible that some app you have installed was using the media cards and the umount command allowed them to be not locked?

umount /media/mmc1
umount /media/mmc2

Anyway, Either way, glad your up!!
