    If the memory card is not recognized in the PC or it is impossible to access the data on it, the controller on the card is damaged. There is only one way to get the data back, unsolder memory chips and directly access their raw data with a programable chip reader. Software can't help, that is a physical damage!

    I have unfortunetly bought a brand new card about a month ago to replace my old one which became corrupted. After a month this one has started to cause problems. When i turn the camera on it intermitently says power off or format card. When i press format card it then has error saying CARD ERROR like the previous card! It eventually started to work again but i had this same problem with my old card and it eventually became completely unusuable. I am worried the same is going to happen again. Why is this happening and how do i resolve it. I guess i should return it while it is still under warranty but what happens if theis keeps happening?

    thanks

    Edit: I have always formated the card using the camera after transfering the images.
