Hey all, I was playing with NITdroid on my N810 during the first go 'round and gave up waiting for sound and bluetooth to work. As part of the setup, I needed to alter the partition table to make room for NITdroid. Now that I'd like to go back to a pure Maemo install, I'm at a loss on how to completely wipe the internal card and go back to one partition. I have the Windows installer (and Linux flasher) and Diablo firmware ready to go. I have XP, 7, and Linux boxes galore.

It seems the Windows install leaves the partition table alone so I need to blow it away. Would blowing away the partition table over USB work? Or should I do it at the command line and reboot into the installer? I'm stuck with a big, empty partition and a Maemo install that is constantly running out of space.

Separately, I'm also interested in your thoughts as to how you would setup a freshly loaded N810 if you wanted to show Maemo off to someone. For the next year or two, I'd like to focus on learning Canola2 and maximizing my use and support of OpenStreetMap, not only using it as a car navigation system, but contributing tracklogs as well.

Thanks for any tips you can offer, starting with blowing away the partition I set aside for NITdroid!

EDIT: Okay, I did some more reading, notably http://www.vinc17.org/maemo/partition.en.html

and I decided to enter

0 61440 0c

to make one huge partition type 0c. Then I cleared the first 512 bytes as recommended and then mkfs.vfat before rebooting.

EDIT 2: That worked, but the partition only showed up with 1GB free. I thought these were 2GB cards. I haven't done the math on 61440, so I don't know what it was supposed to show.
