Usually I convert RAW to DNG directly from the card. So the original PEFs never see my puter. It is simple and it suits my mindset. This workflow has not given me any trouble whatsoever, knock wood. I think it is pretty safe since it is a read only process from the cards point of view.

I have started to adopt this approach. I *copy* the files from the card to the PC via the card reader and then when I insert the card back to the camera I *format* it. It feels slightly strange after more than 2 years of simply *moving* the files from the card to the PC with CF cards of my *istD, but I am sure in a couple of weeks I will have this whole incident very much forgotten ;-).
