Secondly, I appear to have found another way... nftl_format /dev/mtd0 fdisk /dev/nftla (sometimes a reboot is needed first) mke2fs /dev/nftla1 (I only create one partition on the DOC at present) Now, so far this method appears to have revived three DOC2000 devices. I've got a few more to try yet and so the chicken count hasn't started but so far so good. I haven't used docpmap to revive a DOC: docpmap /br /f: to get an image of a 'virgin' DOC docpmap /bw /f: to write virgin image onto 'broken' DOC ...because I haven't got any 'virgin' devices left (oops!) and I needed to rebuild a kernel with MSDOS fs support (somewhere to store the image files) and I couldn't be bothered. DW's idea of using nanddump needs (I believe) a utility to write the image back onto the DOC. I've hacked nanddump into nandput but have yet to try it out. Is it worth it????? Cheers Trev.
