I found this on another thread with similiar problems:-
From xterm I signed in as root and remounted the filesystem in
/home/user/MyDocs as read and write.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /home/user/MyDocs
Is it possible to remount the SD card in the same way?
clutching at straws but you never know, then I might be able to manually delete all and reformat!

This will unmount the partition and then try to mount it rw
or if already mounted you can try
Code:
sudo gainroot umount /dev/mmcblk1p1 mount -o rw /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/mmc1
Code:
sudo gainroot mount -o remount,rw /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/mmc1

Thanks for all the help, I've been playing with the liveCD on an old laptop and you were right, very easy. In fact I liked it so much that I've installed it along side windows but i think I'm going to just replace windows with it.
Still can't format the card though and tried a few commands in the terminal on the laptop - no joy...
ready to give up now, I think i've wasted mine and everybody else's time enough with this.
Just have to use the n900 without the card..
Thanks again to you and everyone for the help.

I can read the card and the files on the n900 but can't delete them.
When connected to PC in usb mode the card doesn't show, but does in a usb adapter. Clicking the properties of the folders in the adapter shows them all as 'read only' and whilst I can remove the 'read only' check mark it's still there when I click properties again.
