Uh, which is it? "formatted using the DIGITAL CAMREA" or "windows formatted SD cards" Is the SD card formatted by the camera or by windows? What is the result of "fdisk -l" of this SD card? I recall that you are using 'sfdisk' and that it reported an error in the partitioning scheme of that SD card. Of less significance: How did the partitioning get corrupted? Did it happen after using 'sfdisk' to modify the SD card's partitions? If yes, perhaps using 'sfdisk' is not the appropriate application to modify the SD card's partitions. I am guessing that you may need to use a partitioning application to restore the SD card to something that the camera will recognize. I fear that the application to accomplish this is not 'sfdisk'.
