That's just warning, everything was copied.

It doesn't show up on my PC Only the 128mb nokia card in external slot can be accessed from PC.
Any ideas, how to solve this?
Hmm, yes. I still don't have dualboot on N800 since I also bought card which currently doesn't work but I've read about something related. Check maemo mailing lists. Someone had opposite problem when booted from flash. He noticed that if he mounts ext2 partiton from mmc card and attaches USB it is unmounted too together with first FAT one. Looks like IT2007 tries to unmount all partitions on the card and probably if it fails, usb storage doesn't work. Someone pointed him to the script that does the unmounting. It needs to be modified to either skip ex2 partition used for booting or changed back to unmount just the FAT one as it was in IT2006.
