Sorry, edited later, after p.H.'s post just below . Earlier, wrong post.
Tried:

Code: Select all

fsck.vfat partition1.img
Outputs:

Code: Select all

dosfsck 3.0.13, 30 Jun 2012, FAT32, LFN
There are differences between boot sector and its backup.
Differences: (offset:original/backup)
  65:01/00
1) Copy original to backup
2) Copy backup to original
3) No action
? 3
Reclaimed 39 unused clusters (638976 bytes).
Free cluster summary wrong (133999 vs. really 134038)
1) Correct
2) Don't correct
? 1
Leaving file system unchanged.
partition1.img: 1839 files, 521063/655101 clusters

Code: Select all

fsck.vfat -r /dev/sdc1

Code: Select all

dosfsck 3.0.13, 30 Jun 2012, FAT32, LFN
open: Read-only file system
No changes appear to have been made. Because of read-only?

I would really like to thank you, p.H. for the consistent support you have provided. You are a patient and transparent person, a real teacher-material.
My good wishes.
There are very many questions that I would like to ask you. But I can gradually do it in a different manner.
