Hi, Are you saying that you did the following after the problem occurred:
1. Experience problem with unit. 2. Put card in laptop, copy data from laptop without modifying. 3. Reformat card, put data back on card from laptop in the _exact_ form it was in from whence it came. As I say, it sounds like an issue with the write procedure going belly up, and the indexes getting trashed in the process. However, if this is the case, I am not sure why putting the data onto the laptop and then back onto the card would help until the problem was resolved, unless there really was a bad sector that couldn't be read by the PTR1 for some reason. Keep us posted.
