Locked File System

Noob error. My program opens a file on LocalFileSystem and then contains an infinite loop. Consequently I cannot access the flash from the PC any more to correct the program. How do I remove the program? Unplugging and replugging the USB restarts the faulty program :)

Hold down the reset button and plug in the USB. This will allow you to copy a new program (fixed one, or simple led blink) to the drive.

Many thanks. I think it might have fixed itself anyway by stopping when it filled the available memory system :) Just a guess, but it is working now anyway.
