formating an MMC card

Unfortunately, that's a very very common problem with MMC cards, and
manufacturers refuse to believe that is a serious problem.. I myself have
gone thru that situation (adding/deleting mass files to/from MMC card, only
to get an error) at least 9 times, (just looking at my collection of mmc
card that now dont work for me anymore). I have contacted the retailers
where I had bought them, they pass me off to the manufacturers website, who
are no help what so ever. (Kingston, & Legend & EagleTec). Search many
mobile forums, the're are heaps of people with this problem.
So, your is damaged.
Reading a PC Mag from Australia, I see it's benchmark "finding the best SD
MMC etc cards" testing mentions a warning of " transferring & removing large
amounts of data (Photo's, Doc's, Mp3's etc) could result in causing flash
memory chip to critically overheat in a matter of seconds. Mag: "PC
Authority Australia"

I can vouch for them too. That's where I bought my 512 DV RS MMC card from.
Absolutely no problems with it (touch wood).
