Subject: [Leica] Compact Flash Card Trouble

I have a 2GB Lexar CF card that I use with my D70.  It has worked fine for 
over a year but today after shooting about 200 JPEG's of my son's soccer 
game, I put the card in the reader and my iMac would not recognize the card. 
 I placed it back in the camera and got the message "You Can Not Use This 
Card."  I tried to reformat the card (and obviously lose the images) but it 
wouldn't let me do that either.  Just last night, I downloaded about 100 
shots for another event and it worked fine.  I understand Lexar has a data 
recovery program  for about $30...anyone ever used it?  Or...should I just 
cut my losses and get another CF card?  It appears that the CF card is 
corrupted but I'm not sure.  The card has worked flawlessly...two overseas 
trips and thousands of images.....

Thanks,
Robert
