This starts to sound familiar. I had a file corruption issue with my first few pictures on the istD which went away immediately on reformatting the card in the Pentax. It had previously been formatted in my Olympus C5050. I don't recall this happening when I switched from Nikon to Olympus, but that was a few years ago!

It was never a major problem. It only happened twice in the first week
I had the camera and hasn't been a problem since. But after it
happened the second time I started reformatting the card after
downloading the files.

I don't know what caused the problem initially. It could have been the
card, low batteries, my card reader. I dunno. It hasn't happened since
so I'm not overly concerned. :-)

Since some have said that they don't reformat there cards, I might
just stop doing it for awhile to see if I have problems again.

 Have you discussed this with Sandisk? The Ultra II has a lifetime warranty.
 They replaced one of mine which failed, no argument. Now, my case was a
 little different; the card totally failed, nothing intermittent about it. It
 might be worth talking to them about yours.
