What OS are you running?    FAT16 or FAT32 comes to mind...

How do you like your 5D?  I like the full frame view, but can't say that
I've yet seen any dramatic increase in DR, as reported by some users.
What has surprised me is the serious vignetting I get with my EF 20 f2.8 at
full aperture, and the relative lack of vignetting at 17mm and full aperture
on my old Sigma 17-35 f2.8-4 EX HSM.  Still, I bought the EF20 f2.8 for use
on my 10D, where it's fine.
