Thanks for the reply and analysis. I will follow your suggestions. The sdhc card was not cheap and I checked it with f3 (http://oss.digirati.com.br/f3/) to check for a fake before installation. I believe it is a genuine Kingston 32GB card. I always check ssd technology cards or drives before trusting them these days. But you were right to suggest this given how many dubious devices there are around. Thanks again. What I think is more likely is that I think that card occasionally gets disturbed in its slot when the netbook gets carried around, so a connector problem is a more likely cause of a hardware issue. I reseat the card when I remember to try to avoid that happening. I don't know whether the device driver can defend against that sort of problem. Thank you so much for all your work: I have admired it from a distnce for many years. I will report further when I have followed your suggestions.
