FAT32 RW problems : solved

[Camuzat Sebastien]

My problem is solved but I do not have an accurate
reasonwhy.
I finally booted in ouinedoz, made a checkdisk (there
was an error in a file format).
A reboot on breezy, and there we are, it works again,
I can R/W.

Maybe I should have made a kind fsck under breezy but
I had never done that, and not sure it is feasible on
a FAT sys.

Is there a linux tool dedicated to scan FAT partitions
?
