Unmount MyDocs for safeties sake

Code:

Umount /home/user/MyDocs

Make the second partition to contain a fresh file system

Code:

mkfs.ext3 -L home /dev/mmcblk0p2

Mount the new filesystem

Code:

mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt

Copy the content of /home

Code:

cp -a /home /mnt

Unmount the new partition after the copying is done

Code:

umount /mnt

Create a new partition table with this command (everything in this box is just one command)

Code:

echo "unit: sectors
> /dev/mmcblk0p1 : start= 64, size= 56631296, Id= c
> /dev/mmcblk0p2 : start= 56631360, size= 4194304, Id=83
> /dev/mmcblk0p3 : start= 60825664, size= 1572864, Id=82
> /dev/mmcblk0p4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0" > table

Write the new partition table to the device

Code:

sfdisk --no-reread /dev/mmcblk0 < table

Now reboot the phone

After the next start make a fresh file system for MyDocs

Code:

umount MyDocs
mkfs.vfat -F32 -s64 -n MyDocs /dev/mmcblk0p1

Mount MyDocs

Code:

mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs

If errors occur please post the full message, don't panic, may be the Nokia folks did some extra tweak which have to get reverted also.
