That previous screen I showed where you said it looked good, I went ahead and clicked on apply and watched Gparted do it's thing.

I dropped that debian file on mmc1 through a USB cable in Windows XP but I didn't see anything different with the card.

The card was blank so I assumed the partitions were invisible.

Is there a command in Xterm to see if in fact I partitioned it correctly?

Thanks chief!
