That could be the books partition on the device is corrupted and does need to be formatted. I would suggest trying to do a factory reset first. But, I'm not sure how to do that for the WiFi.

But, letting Windows format the partition might work. You would need to go through the setup process afterwards, but, if it is just the partition, it probably would work. It is slightly risky as I'm not sure of some details and haven't tried it.

The image could fix things. I have sent a PM with the link. For instructions, start with Memory Upgrade Mod Guide. They are for the Glo, but the basic steps and tools are the same. It might also be good to use a new card. A failing SD card is a common cause for a lot of these issues.
