Hey guys,

I was moving some video for school onto my WD portable HD, and it screwed up the video. It became pixilated and digitized in places, with the screen going green and no audio. Anyway, I tried formatting the card, and that made it 10xs worse. now, it won't recognize the thing.. so i put it on my mac, did the disk utility, partitioned the drive, and got it to show up. I tried moving the video over again, and same thing, its all screwed up. I tried moving just regular files, and it says that it can not write some files...

i move it to my PC, finally get it to be recognized, download the "restore" program, but even that says "error, can not write to disk"

I have the recipt, and its from costco, so they'll take anything back, but i really needed it for tomorrow, can anyone suggest anything?
