any ideas?
The above answer was pretty technical, and requires Mac OS X Terminal or Linux. You haven't stated your technical level of knowledge.

So I will be pretty basic. The "fsck" is a "File System Check" program. It is a program that checks for errors on your internal storage and plugged-in SD Cards. It found a problem and bailed. It should have actually tried to repair. Maybe it did and failed; not sure what Sony has installed exactly.

The "remove your SD card" is the easiest solution. Take out the "file system" that's the problem, and the problem disappears! Otherwise you're left with using Linux/Mac OS X Terminal to try to repair (which I have never tried).

Run an "fsck /Volumes/Reader" on Mac OS X or "fsck /media/Reader" on Linux (note that you may have to substitute your actual Reader name (try "ls /Volumes" to get it) in those previous commands. You may also have to do a "sudo fsck /Volumes/Reader" which means run as super user. The fsck will both check and attempt to fix the file system. If it fails, you're stuck with sending the Reader in.
