Richard,

I'd try a different card reader.  The inexpensive Sandisk USB card
reader is not very good.  The cheap card reader included with some
Lexar Comapctflash cards is not very good, either.

If a second card reader doesn't work, I'd contact Sandisk and ask for
their advice.  The cards have a warranty, so you should be able to
replace yours with ones that work.

A nifty tool to use when a Compactflash card is messed up is
"Card Wiper" from Photorescue.net  This PC program can usually destroy
corrupted files that may be making the card unusable.

Download the program for free at
