[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 693703, member: 13090"] SD cards come from the factory formatted with a File Allocation Table (FAT). The FAT is is the foundation upon which cameras create a folder-structure required for storing files. The File Allocation Table and the folder-structure are two different things entirely. If the folder-structure becomes corrupt doing an in-camera "format" may fix the problem. If instead the card's File Allocation Table becomes corrupt, the only thing that may be able to repair it is doing an in-computer (Full) Format. This formatting process will take several minutes because it rebuilds the foundational structure of the card. Once the camera has a memory card with a clean File Allocation Table to work with the card must be "formatted" in camera which creates the folder-structure required for storing files. [/QUOTE]
