"Corrupted data"

Does anyone know what I should do.It used to be a GT Concept save but it corrupted and cant be deleted.Everytime i try to delete it it keeps giving error messages

There's nothing worse than a corrupt memory card. Just because they organise the files shouldn`t mean they can get away with skimming a little off the top for themselves, its just not right.

I never trust 3rd party products, they have a habbit of either breaking or in the memory card's case, getting corrupted!

It tends to be a result of doing what they tell you not to -

"Do not turn off the power when saving"
"Do not remove or insert memory cards when the power is on, or during saving"

etc...

Another cause can simply be poor quality third party memory cards that seem to come programmed that way. You put in your memory card, and instantly its corrupted.

Im afraid theres nothing you can really do, just means that those few clusters on your memory card cannot be used as they are corrupted, a good thing to do is every so often delete unwanted data from you memory card.

I've only once got corrupted data, and it happened when I turned off Burnout while it was auto-saving. I was frustrated and didn't stop and think. Anyway, I could delete the file without any problems so it must be something specific.

Sorry can't help you, I'm in the same situation myself. My Burnout 2 save is gone, corruppted and when I chack my memory card I see I have 3 spaces of corrupted data which for some reason can't be deleted.
