Thank you. I just saved the contents, formatted the card with the ereader and copied back the data. It now works good. I had not to use winddows for it.

By the way: fat filesystem is so simple that it is difficult not to support it correctly. I think the windows support can't be better than Linux's one... excepto for the patent problems but it was solved in an acceptable way.
