Hope you kept some backups.

ok....but how do you fix it  :?

:cry:

Take a close look at the pins in your SC CF slot, as well as your PC CF slot.  Are there any bent or missing pins?

Sad to say, your CF card has died. In most cases, you can get a free return from the company that made it. Sometimes they will even pay shipping to them and to you (it's really slow though, it takes about 10 days), which was the case with my Sandisk CF card. I had the exact same situation, and I don't know any other problem that it could be.

i dont know wher i bought it!  :cry:

is there a software to download that can fix it? i know its nothing physicaly wrong

please!!  :cry:

i pushed "properties" and it says "unreadable"

I told you, YOUR CF CARD IS DEAD. NOTHING CAN FIX IT. IT IS USELESS. YOU NEED TO GET IT REPLACED FROM THE COMPANY THAT MADE IT. LOOK ON THE FRONT OR BACK OF IT AND IT SHOULD SAY THAT COMPANIES NAME!

erm... right

but later today im just gonna buy a new one, it was only 128...

[Thundrestrike]

actually, decided to e-mail the company (Kodak)

my email said

"How do i fix an "unreadable" CompactFlash (CF) card?"

I will post the email I get back from them so if anyone else haves this problem, they will know  

considering that CF card was borrowed from my friend, I'm gettin his replaced, and I plan on buying one for my own.

hope all goes well!
