Losing data on Sandisk SD128

Getting an error message on my X5 saying that the SD card is not formatted. Checked in settings and File Explorer and nothing is on the card when I know good and well that I had some programs on it.
This happened after I copied some mp3's to the card to listen to while running and then I deleted them when finished. Sometime after that, the error message popped up. I have soft reset with no luck.
Anyone know what it going on?
TIA

I think this was an issue a while ago.....there were some cards that were acting strangely....are you using an older SD card or is this brand new?

I bought it brand new in December of 2002. It's probably considered an old card. If it's the card, there's probably not a fix I assume??? ('cept for a new card of course B) )

There is a program out there that formats SD cards although I can not remember the name or where I found it. If anyone knows the name of this program please post

I used to have the program but it was not freeware. It was trialware. :angry2:
BTW, went and bought another card, a 256. We'll see how it works.
