I too had the same problem today - was running Maemo Maps and suddenly it
couldn't write to the card. Card came up empty within the D800 but read within
Explorer in Windows - was able to copy everything but the Maemo Maps directory
off (this appeared to be corrupted). I reformatted and the card seems okay for
now, but I'm scared it's gunna happen again and the card will be unusable.
