1.Check the SD Card for cracks,I had one that i was messing with for hours and it had a crack running through it.No clue how that happened.

2.Did the write protect switch get switched on the card?

PLease tell me that you took this gem of advice…

I was able to get the files that I could off the card, and formatted the card. It gave me the error again. Then I put the card back in the camera took a few pics, deleted them all again. and problem solved.

No the protect switch wasn’t on, the lock prevents you from writing to the card not giving you a corrupt data error
