Had a look at the mmc card with fdisk and it said there were no partitions 
defined. Decided to create a blank fat table on the disk...... NOT GOOD.. 
Couldn't even read it in windows then (or format it either). Had to use my 
phone to format it to RAW before windows would format it back to FAT properly. 

Strage thing is that even after a full low level format the 2x cards I've used 
on 9.1rc2 still won't work in my MP3 player yet can be read by windows and my 
SL45 phone..... 

ODD....... I'm not going to risk another card to check if it's just a hardware 
fault of these cards or not, I've only got 64 & 128mb cards to play with! 

The strange thing is that the two which don't work in my MP3 player are made 
in Taiwan and the ones that work are made in Japan (all the cards are Sandisk) 
probably just a coincidence.

MAJOR!!!!!! If an mmc card is formatted my diskdrake it renders them 
inopperable even when reformatted correctly under windows.

After formatting an mmc card in diskdrake i tried to enter diskdrake again 
only to be thrown out with the error "partitions overlap". There should only 
be one partition on the mmc card! Before I exited diskdrake there appeared to 
be two partitions where there should only have been one, I exited diskdrake ok 
and tried to mount the volume (sda1) but it failed.  

(I went into diskdrake to get rc2 to recognise my card so i could mount it. 
Diskdrake said the card was unformatted even though it was formatted in 
windows as a valid working FAT disc).

Before the Linux intervention I could use these cards in the mmc mp3 player - 
now there refuse to work in it even after a 'proper' format in windows.
