Perhaps I am doing something wrong but I recently purchased a 256mg SanDisk cf card and my brand new G5 ate it. Thinking that the card must have been bad I brought it back and replaced it. The new card did the same exact thing.

Let me get a bit more specific: The Brand new CF card will work for pictures just fine until I pull the card and plug it into my SanDisk ImageMate. Once there I pull up an "No preview available." and I can't view the pics. Then I turn around and plug the card back into the camera and it says there is a CF card error.

The only thing I did differently with the original disk was shoot a few pics and download them onto my computer directly through the port on the camera. And I have never had a problem pulling the card and plugging it into my CF reader.

What is the problem? The original card works great but it is only 32mgs.

Am i smoking crack or am I doing something wrong or is my camera smoking crack?

I just upgraded from the G3 so I didn't think it would be like rocket science to get this thing dialed in.

Help!!!!!???

try reformatting the card, shoot some more, and then use the camera direct connection to download the files. If that works I'd say the cf reader is smoking crack. Or your computer lost its driver...
