A card I have used several times today showed a cf error. Went to reformat and it can't format. Any ideas? Put another one in the 5d2 and it worked fine. I don't understand, just got the cards a week ago from B&H .

Will the card in question work in a memory card reader or in another camera? Might be the card itself has gone bad.

have you tried formatting it on a computer? is it detected by a computer?

Error on a camera is one thing, but if you can't solve it through a computer, you'll probably wanna send it in. From what I head the Kingstons aren't the best in quality but good for price/performance.

Put it back in the camera, still got a busy then error telling me to format the card, went to the menu and tried to format in the camera and it said it could not format the card. Pulled it out of the camera and put it back in and all is well, I don't get it. Guess I'll keep an eye on it and not use it for a primary card.
