Here's my setup: OpenOffice Writer on an Asus EEE PC 2G with a 4G SDHC memory card in it. Just received it this week and this issue has been going on since I got it.
Here's my problem: I put some .doc files on my EEE (both by downloading them and putting them onto the memory card using another computer). I opened them and made changes and saved the changes (saving as a .doc). After shutting down and restarting the computer once or twice, the documents are coming up as blank. The error message either reads "Input/Output Error" or "Read Error." I have this problem whether I am saving to the EEE's own flash drive or to the memory card. So for instance, I write one more page on a sixty page document, save it with no problem, and the next time i turn on the comp and try to open the document, it's been reset to a one page black document.
I don't know much about linux. I did set the permissions for all the files to give read/write permission to everyone. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem? i got the EEE primarily to write, and obviously if i can't save text documents, the computer doesn't do much good for me.
