Further to my previous message, I managed to get the card reader to mount on
another box (running 2.4 kernel) and tried to format the SD card that I'm
having trouble with.
It gave me the following.
when I did a mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdc1

Does this mean that the card is dead? Not sure, but it really doesn't look
good does it? Any recovery options?
Ta.
