Good to hear that all is better now. Seems that "A particular person" is very lucky that a coffee is all that is owed.

I want to thank everyone for their feedback, it was quite helpful. I learned a long time ago to turn my camera off before removing the card.

Rob hit the problem on the head. The person I loaned the D100 too apparently tried to put the CF card in backwards, one of the internal pins in the camera was bent to one side. This caused one of the pin receptors on the card to be slightly damaged and plugged with a piece of the surrounding plastic wall.

When I inserted this card into my D200 the damaged pin receptor on the card bent a pin in the D200. By looking at both cameras, I realized one pin in the same area on both cameras had been pushed out of place. I gently put them back into position, scary to say the least, using a magnifier, lights and tiny tweezers.

Everything seems to be back in order, all cards a working again after cleaning the affected areas, and I am one happy guy!

A particular person owes me a coffee._grin

Take care out there,
Gregory
