I have disappearing files on my memory card! I took a picture of my friend, saw it on the LCD, and it then disappeared, nowhere to be found! What's up with that? OR another time I took a pic, saw it on the LCD and then it said that the file contains no data, but the file was there, just a big fat 0k. What's up with that? Can anyone help?

how often do you reformat it?
How old is the card? Maybe time for a new one?
I had a shoot I was doing at the clients business - after shooting for an hour my number of shots read "RA" - and I couldn't get it to do anything.
So I reshot everything.
When I got back to the office, my card reader read it fine - I reformatted it and it's working again.
I try to reformat mine every time I unload it to the computer. I notice the number of images available on the card diminishes over time - but I don't get too many files disappearing. Twice in two years and 50,000 images shot.
Does any of that help?

it's in the little "wrench" menu on your camera. (pretty darn technical of me huh? I'm just looking a the camera and don't know what that menu is called)
So here's my card maintenence schedule:
Shoot
Go through the shoot on the card and rank shots in Bridge (comes with Photoshop CS/2)
Copy all shots ranking 3 or higher onto my hard drive
Pop the CF card back into the camera and format it
Repeat.
