Having said so much, it is actually my intention to point out under no circumstance is the memory card to be modified in any way in a PC. Which means no re-formatting, delete/rename/save operations are to be done to the card when it is put in in the PC.

To be safe, it is best to wriite-protect the card each time it is put in the PC. To manipulate files, first copy the files to a folder in the PC and do it to those files.

Thanks for the tip. So is this a fault of the SD Card itself, the computer reader, or just a general no go zone?

The reason I ask is because even on Sandisk's instructions when I contacted them they wanted me to format the card in the computer (not the camera) to see if this would correct the problem.

I also had a new card the other day that a camera didn't recognise. Inserting it into the computer and formatting the card then allowed the camera to "see it".
