In general, dirty is a term used for NTFS file system when it has a dirty bit set due to a non-clean dismount of the volume. So if your MyDocs partition which is FAT32 on the N900 is said to be dirty, it can be cleared by running "chkdsk /f" on that drive from the command prompt. (or right click properties on that drive from Windows Explorer and go to tools - error checking - check now and make sure to check the box for auto fix)
Yes, I'm still Windows. How do I run "chkdsk/f"? On my laptop via mass storage mode? Or is there a way directly on the N900? By the way, could we identify if it was the 32Gb or the SD card?
