Odd issue....Running Smoked Glass and everythings been smooth as hell. then out of no where my SD card isn't available. YES, I have rebooted, popped out and in, same with battery. All no help. I get the "SD card is Damaged" and obviously not usable.

HOWEVER!!!
When tethered to pc and mounted...all the SD cards data is there on my pc. Unmount and the card is suddenly "damaged" again....so WTF?????

Yes things are backed up, but I want to figure this out to insure it doesn't happen again and to aid others.

Any clues?
Thanks........

I had a similar issue that was due to not dismounting the drive before pulling the USB cable (Was on Ubuntu). You can try plugging in the cable and mounting the drive, then selecting eject or dismount, depending on your OS, and see if that clears up the problem for you.

If not, reformat will clear the issue up.
