Shel, Are you sure you didn't forget to rewind your SD card before taking it out of the camera (or the computer)? ;-)
After reading the rest of the thread, I am almost convinced that the most common culprit of the problem with SD cards is opening the back of the camera without rewinding. :-D Igor Wed, 08 Nov 2006 07:46:53 -0800 Shel Belinkoff wrote: Well, it finally happened - my SD card became damaged or corrupted. Someone once suggested that it's best to delete the files from the card by formatting the card in the camera. It was also mentioned that the chances of the card getting damaged by deleting the files when the card was in the computer were probably minimal. Well, not taking that advice this morning, I deleted files from the card while it was in the computer, and then the card wouldn't work in the camera. I tried formatting the card in the camera but the formatting wouldn't work. I then formatted the card in the computer, put it into the camera, and then reformatted it in the camera a couple of times. The card works fine now. So, this is just a heads up and a caution. Be careful. The unexpected and unusual can happen.
