I'm assuming your laptop is Windows?
I guess I'm the only Windows guy here. lol
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)

Well, does your laptop still bluescreen if you connect your N900 via mass storage? If it doesn't, then it's easy.
Just hook up the N900 via mass storage.
Then you will see 2 new drives in explorer. (eg. F and G drive)
Now go to command prompt in WIndows. (Start - Run - type "cmd")
Then run:
chkntfs f:
chkntfs g:
This just checks for the dirty flag and will tell you which one is set.
Then run:
chkdsk f: /f
chkdsk g: /f
(depending on which drive letter is said to be dirty)
Once the chkdsk completes, it will clear the dirty bit.

if you can't get into windows, you can use a recovery disk if your using vista or 7 and if your still on XP you would need the installation disk and you would boot into the recovery console instead of the installation by pressing R
