I bought the device yesterday and had a similar problem. After using the device about 5 hours, suddenly it reboots and lost all the data. Reports only that "internal memory card format is not supported". In settings -> memory it says that the internal memory card is corrupted.

Wen't to Nokia Flagship store today and in 10 minutes time I got a new device. I'm just hoping that this doesn't happen again. Luclily, my wife's device (bought also yesterday at the same time) works like a charm.

hi all
i bought my n900 first time with rebooting issue and return it back to Nokia care and today i got other new n900 unit but with memory card corrupted issue

first thing i checked the memory card slot and installed micro SD and it works fine.

after that i re flashed eMMC and the image and this solve the problem at all.

But i did that by MAC OS X not on Windows.

thanks

Last weekend, me & my OH were tidying out some stuff we had chucked in a cupboard. And I came across the memory card that used to be in her 5800, so thought I'd pop it in to my N900.

It saw it and worked a charm but had loads of 5800 related crap on it. So, on my N900, I selected the Format option on the memory card and since then it has said "Memory Card Format Unsupported" whenever I select it in File Manager.

I've tried the Quick Format option in Windows, but with no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have had a quick skim read though this post but most of it's talking about stuff I don't understand!

Many thanks,
Dex

Mine says corupted as well!I`ve had the card in my 5800 and it was fine for a year, so I`m positive my card is not corrupted.

I`ve tried making an ext2 partition in Paragon Partition Manager on a windows xp machine (yes! it does work!).What kind of partition does the N900 require??There are a bunch of option in paragon 0x82 0x83 0x84 and so on ( linux hidden, extended, blabla).Do I assign a letter to the partition as well?

Any help appreciated

Thanks

The N900 requires a standard FAT32 partition (0x0b), and there's no need to bother assigning a drive letter.

I thought that the memory card must be formated in ext2??Am I wrong?I`ve already tried FAT32 and it is not recognized

No, it should be FAT32. You may want to look at this thread, which may be the same issue.

No worries, I got it working....I`ve made the card unallocated, then formated again with FAT32, put it in and presto it is recognised.

Thanks

That's probably done the same thing, yes - if the initial partition was p4, then changing the type wouldn't help. Making it unallocated will delete all partitions, then when you create the new FAT32 partition it will be p1 instead.
