Boris, this may not help you, but as a matter of course, I always let the camera format the card and never the computer. I treat it as though the card belongs to the camera, is owned by it, should be 'looked after' by the camera, and is simply loaned to the computer to offload images. Once back in the camera, I always reformat the card prior to further use. Touch wood, I have never had a problem this way. I have had some problems before adopting this protocol by trying to wipe a card by using the computer.
