Hey, I just wanted to restate that I've seen this problem when using the BrailleNote to save files to a SD memory card. So, that suggests that the sector error problem could be a more general problem with KeySoft's saving abilities, which we all know are pretty poor, due to the lack of inadequate RAM. So: the good news: I don't think those flash disks are corrupted, or at least not entirely. The bad news: We will all continue to have these problems unless HW can find a software solution or upgrades our motherboards. Cheers, Craig
