The image is written to the card. There should be no partitioning taking place.

As the device is booting to the dancing squares, it suggests either number 2 above. The card in my Glo did fail and replacing it solved all it's problems.

The other thing to try is a factory reset using the buttons. Rewriting the image should be enough, but there have been a few reports of a problem afterwards that a factory reset fixes.
