<p class="MsoNormal"]Hi Alan:
<p class="MsoNormal"]<o></o>
<p class="MsoNormal"]THE GOOD NEWS is
that you do not own a new boat anchor. The Transcend cards have a life time warranty,
except for the industrial CF cards. I went through a very similar experience
about 5 months ago. I had taken pictures of my daughter&rsquo;s senior prom and went
to download them to the computer &amp; the computer could not read the card I &ldquo;safely
removed it from the computer and put it back in the camera and got the same
message can&rsquo;t read the card ( I have a 50D ). I had noticed that when I formatted
the card last it hesitated part way through for a couple of seconds and then
completed formatting.
<p class="MsoNormal"]<o></o>
<p class="MsoNormal"]When I could not do anything with the card my wife ( oh how
they make our lives so much better than without them ) suggested that I call
Transcend and go over the problem with them. By that time they were not able to
help me retrieve any data off the card, but they were very happy to tell me
that the card a CF 16GB 133x had a lifetime warranty. All I had to do was send
it in, which I did and a little more than a week later the new one arrived. I
found out by reading the accompanying material that all of their except the
industrials have a lifetime warranty.
<p class="MsoNormal"]<o></o>
<p class="MsoNormal"]So sorry I can not help you with any retrieval but at least
you know you do not have a new little boat anchor.
<p class="MsoNormal"]<o></o>
<p class="MsoNormal"]Godspeed
