Does anyone know what this means?
I posted this on DVInfo.net already so if you've seen this please forgive me. I really need to figure out what's wrong here before my shoot next week.
I have been using the 500 for a few weeks now and this is the first problem that I've encountered. I was offloading one of the P2 cards to a laptop in the field and it locked up the computer. Most of the files were transferred (and are working just fine after importing into Avid, thank God!) but when I put the card back in the HPX500 to try to reformat I get: System Error - P2 Micron Error, along with a flashing tally light and an audible alarm. Pulling the P2 card out and turning off the camera, then turning it back on again fixes the problem. However, there is no way to fix the P2 card that I know of. The other cards work fine and that slot appears to work fine too.
I have been very carefull to eject the cards from the OS after offloading and before simply removing it from the system, and I have been handling them very carefully - removing them after a shoot, putting them in their case, etc. Is there something that I'm missing, or do I have a bad card.
I tried formatting the cards on the PC which was suggested on the other forum. It doesn't work, it just hangs the system. It does mention an I/O error.
Is it common for a P2 card to fail this drastically practically overnight???
Looking forward to any help!
Thanks,
John
