I'm using a SD card. SOmetimes when i transfer stuff into a folder created in my SD card ... i suddenly see lots of empty folders created...w/o name...just a dot. There are so many ....

encountered this?

I have seen this as well,
on my lexar SD card...256 MB

More great reviews!

   

I see this when I transfer files from my Mac.

I haven't seen that.

I've seen this on a Sandisk 256SD card, never on my CF card though. Has something to do with the way the system is trying to write files to the card, usually ended up in a write failure. Try formatting the card with Storage Tools or the like, it may fix the file system on the card, if not, you may be looking at a card replacement.

To format, are these the only 2 choices:

(1) storagetools
(2) flash format

Which is better? Tried flash format previously but evaluation version expired.

With all the problems with memory cards ...think such software is a must have for ppc users, dun u think?

I Just deleted the dot dot dot folders
and all was fine...

More great reviews!

   

I prefer Storage Tools

Not all the cards have problems, thing is you don't see people posting to tell you all their cards are working fine (unless it's a response to a post about troubles). I would have to say that some sort of storage card utility is almost a necessity.
