I loaned my old D100 : to young photographer and gave them a couple of 1 gig CF Ultra memory cards. : She claimed that she took the card out after shooting some images, tried to : load the images onto her mom's laptop, but the laptop didn't have a card : reader. : : She then put the CF card back into the camera and got the dreaded flashing : CHA error. I tried to troubleshoot the card by placing into my D200 and now : my D200 gives the same error. Neither camera will take a card now and every : card I attempt to insert into eiither camera displays the same flashing CHA : error and states "this card can not be used" in the LCD panel. : : Is there a fix? Could I have put a virus onboard my cameras??? what operating system are you using? I'll suggest appropriate data recovery software then once you've got the images back you can reformat the card karl
