Hello,
I'm not especially tech savvy but have reason to believe that someone here might be in a position to help me. I already sent a PM to linuxstb, but heard back so far.
Problem:
I managed to do something that caused the contents of my J3 storage to not show up at all on the player when I turn it on. My extra SD card does, fortunately, still work as normal, otherwise I'd be very troubled by this point.
I still get to see the contents of both when I plug the player into my computer. Seemingly randomly, the contents of the original storage toggles between being read-only and not.
Other symptoms of this are that some folders I deleted from the original part stayed in the wastebasket for ages before disappearing; they have now gone from the wastebasket but are still in the .Trash-1000 and . folders..
However when I try to delete them I'm unable to, even when the read only is off (Error when getting information for file '/media/adam/COWON J3/.Trash-1000/expunged/938689970/EtP [1983-1984-1985]': Input/output error)
Seems it's hard to reformat a FAT32 drive using Linux, which I understand would be one option.
But I gather that this ought to be possible using TCCtool that works on Linux, am just trying to find some instructions for the J3 which despite searching, I couldn't find on this forum.
Would be grateful for any advice.
