if a canon camera can be used to reformat a 'broken' sd(hc) card so it will work again in an n800 it would seem to make sense that nokia, or someone here on the forum, can figure out and fix the problem. have others had the same experience of fixing a lunched card in their cameras?
and since neither a windows machine nor the n800 itself can repair the corruption but the firmware/software in the camera can, doesn't it make sense it is a firmware/software/operating system ptoblem with the n800, not a hardware problem? this seems like a problem which coulda woulda shoulda been solved and fixed long ago.

Try the Panasonic SD card formatter. I have recovered many "broken" cards with this utility.

I see that other users here have had similar problems, up to a point where their card became unusable.
My two cents: my cards became usable again when formatted in a digital camera (a Canon that can read SDHC). Works like a charm again. Worth a try.
