Thanks Vic,
I'm going to 'assume' you are right re SDHC (for now).
All the kern.log reveals is -

Out of which all I see of use is the write protected line (again not
expert!).
Any other thoughts?
Cheers

Interestingly I tried it in a card reader directly and it didn't even
show up.
Does that card reader explicitly claim SDHC operation? A standard SD
reader won't see a SDHC card (and 16GB is SDHC).
My hearts saying its died but I'm in no way shape or form an expert on
these things!.
You might be right. I'd be having a good look through /var/log/messages to
see what that says. Read-only filesystems tend to imply damage - but it
might be repairable.
Vic.
