It is devistating when it happens. I've had two Sandisk SD cards do this in my NIKON D60. The first time I am certain it was the machine I used in Jessups. I was P****d at that as I had rushed into town to get photos of a new pb carp.
Always back up your pics on the computer before taking the SD card anywhere.....
Second fault, well, that happened probably because i was deleting images and the card corrupted.
Try retrieval software it may work, but the faults my cards developed, anywhere I put the SD card, it would not recognise it. When i'm feeling flush I may treat myself to a pro- SLR with two card slots so all images are automatically backed up.

I had similar problems with a Sandisk (sorry Ron!). Although I could initially review them on the camera (Canon), when I attempted to download them I got a similar message and could no longer view them via the camera. Tried a recovery program but failed. Lost the images and could only reformat as suggested.
Like "Wobbly" I now reformat every time and (touch wood) have had no further problems (the same card).
Typical.... the images I lost were of a 2.14 roach, I'll probably never see such a roach again!
Yes Neil,
Its always a good fish isn't it. I was inconsolable for about a fortnight.
