I have some knowledge of computers and the dynamics in writing and reading data from different media. Typically, a file is written and then verified. In addition there is a CRC (cyclical redundancy check) character written at the end of the file. When a file is later read perhaps on a different device it can check the accuracy by computing the CRC and then matching it to the files version.
Now, the question remains about the CF card and file protocol for cameras. I hope someone can verify this for us.
By all means format.
Formatting. unlike love, never hurts. It will "fix" a bad spot on the card. Often the CFC error is in the card reader. See if a friend has another reader you can use or buy one (about $20). I have seen some comments about Sandisk cards and certain readers.chasrich wrote: I'm not sure but I don't think the card can be the source of the noise.
