any help appreciated.

I had this problem too. The answer is (straight from the people at iRex), to copy your uncorrupted files to the PC. Then use the disk formatting program of your choice to reformat the iLiad's internal drive in FAT32 format. Then copy your files back to the iLiad, and everything will be fine again.

In Linux I used the command:

mkfs -t vfat -v -I /dev/sdb

The device name maybe something other than /sdb on your system; check before you start, so you don't format the wrong drive!
