I've had a Sandisk SD Extreme III 2GB for a few months now. Never a problem until today.
I had about 180 shots in it from the weekend. I connected the camera as always (USB cable on D80 - I don't have an SD USB-drive).
As usual, I moved the files to the hard drive (Windows Explorer WinXP). After a while it stopped with an error that it could not read the file. I tried with another file, same error.
After several tests, I have a corrupted card with 84 photos left in it. I can see and browse through them in the camera itself. I cannot delete in the camera. I get a card error.
The card is not locked (lock tab is off). I decided to lose them and try to save the card. I did a format in the D80 itself. It went through the motions but it did not format, as the card does not show empty. No matter what, the photos are there and I can still cycle through them in the camera. No go on moving/copying/deleting them
Any ideas? I'd hate to lose the card. It ain't cheap.
