I should know how to do this, but I can't figure it out. I have a 2GB SD card that came with a new BiPAP machine (Philips-Respironics Dreamstation). I can only mount it read-only. It is formatted FAT32. My software (SleepyHead) can import the data from it, but I wish to add a small .xls file to it. I started by trying the GUI Gnome Disk Manager, but it refuses to reformat or delete the partition 'because it is mounted read-only.' I also tried Gparted GUI, but got the same results. Either of these programs can mount/unmount the partition, but regardless of whether it is mounted or not I cannot delete the partition.
There is a possibly related issue. When I insert the card into the SD card slot on my laptop nothing can see it, yet the slot works fine with other cards. I have a couple SD card to USB adapters, and one of them works, but not the other. I haven't tried the command line yet, mostly because I don't know commands for gparted. (Yeah, I could look them up, but if the GUI won't do it, chances are I'll have the same problem at the command line.) What am I missing? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
