It's usually ro when the swap file is corrupted or the card is corrupted. Try fsck.vfat on the tablet (after umounting) or just chkdsk it on a windows computer.

Thanks... but next time please warn me:
I just ran fsck, which fixed my problem. BUT: all the filenames and folders were renamed to 1ST6CHAR~1 ... to fit in the 8-char length limit.
WHY?

huh... it's kinda weird:
I booted from flash, and removed the swap file (i have a 350mb swap partition, but it's not used).
I booted from flash and got the following:
- names automatically fixed.
- card still read-only.
help!

I have been dual-booting from a 16gb flash card for quite some time now (months).
However, today, the 1st partition (fat32) suddenly became read-only. I have looked at the lock on the card: it is unlocked. Can anyone help?
Thank you
