I have a sandisk ultra II 256 cf that now is not letting me read or write to it, I am getting an error message (the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable) anyone know how I can fix this. The files on the cf are working I just can't read or write any new files with my computer or my friends computer

Could be locked or it could be dying.
As thoop said try formating it, but make sure you do a Zero-All format.

I had to format it in dos, Windows XP would not let me format, I can read and write to it again, only mp3s are on it. Time to get a new card.
