I have 512mb compact flash card that no longer is identifiable by my camera or my computer. The odd things is that it was neither dropped nor has it gotten wet, I just turned on the camera one day and the camera said the card was unreadable. I can't format it either. What happened?

Like any kind of flash storage it can only be written and rewritten up to a certain amount of time before it quits. It's pretty normal. Forgetting about it, get another one.

I imagine that they eventually wear out, but I can't wait to learn from your responses.
If you need to buy a new one, I see a rebate on the Sandisk Extreme III cards that actually makes them cheaper than the Ultra II's, so there is no reason not to buy the faster card. The rebate offer ends 12-31-06, though. If you don't find this elsewhere, I saw it at http://www.bhphotovideo.com
