HFS11 > New Card > Initialize >"process terminated with error"

Now the card in camera reads as empty and not usable.

This happened with 2 different brand new cards

PQI SDHC 16GB Class 6

does this just mean its a bad card?

after more testing its gotta be the card since all other cards work fine....bad brand i guess

You didn't turn the "write-protect" tab on by chance did you?
