I am sure "every time" is a huge overkill. Just using it in a reader that can mount it properly without need for specialized drivers should be enough. I have seen the problem a long time ago with a crappy no-name memory card. Have been using Sandisk memory cards for the past 10 years with no card ever having this problem (and not formatting them ever, not even the recommended first format "in-camera"). kris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
