PRS-T1 Cannot delete corrupt file

meigel · 12-03-2011, 05:19 AM

It seems I pulled the usb plug too early (didn't properly disconnect from pc) while transfering some files to the T1. Result is that one file is corrupt and the reader won't stop displaying the busy circle in the status bar. Unfortunately, when reconnected to the pc, the file system now is read only and I can't delete the faulty file. Any advise on what to do?

Cheers,
Martin

Well, connecting to a windows pc solved the problem. I usually use linux and windows doesn't value file locks and permissions in the same way it appears so deleting the file was not a problem...
