I've never had any sd card problems before this either. I'm using a 16gb Sandisk Class 2. Android running off my sd card is pretty zippy but it started being sluggish one day and force closes were coming left and right so I decided to soft reset(using power off option in android). When I rebooted into Windows and tried to restart android it told me it couldnt find the MJGUtility or whatever its called file. went to the file browser and there it was, an unreadable mess full of folders.

Same thing happened to me a couple of months ago. I was running Android from my 16gb Sandisk card when it failed. I tried to reformat the card, but it was dead. I had to buy another one.

I have never had an SD card fail like that.

I can confirm on MULTIPLE MICRO SD CARDS (Sandisk, Transcend, and Kensington) that installing/running Android causes Windows 7 to detect corruption on the SD card, requiring CHKDSK to be run. Half of the time, it doesn't find any damaged files, the other half, it recovers 2 .CHK files (I'm assuming they're form Android)
