There was a thread on slashdot on this subject within the last few days--I'd suggest you look for it and read the possibilities for failure (that was more the subject than say recovering data). Some of the reasons for an "instant failure" (like this appears to be) included a good jolt of static electricity, or plugging it into something that used too high a voltage. But at least one failure sounded potentially easily fixable--sometimes the connector flexes the rest of the card too much and some of the connections (or the solder on them) crack and fail. In some cases they can be resoldered. > ctrl:~# fdisk /dev/sdc > You will not be able to write the partition table. You might also google for that particular error message and see what it's telling you and how and whether other people have overcome it.
