Original description

I had some problems with repeated initialization of SD cards with Arduino 1.0 (so I can remove them from the Arduino to retrieve the information on them). It would just stop writing to the card after a while. (before writing I initialized the SD card, but somehow this wouldn't work every time)

I got it working by using the latest version of SDFATlib, on which the current SD lib is based I think (a much older version).
The current SD lib works by providing a higher level interface for the old version of the SDFATlib.
With newer versions this is not needed anymore because a higher level interface is included in the SDFATlib itself.

Why don't you integrate this newer library, it also comes with good support for multiple SD cards and more features! :)

You can find the latest (Arduino 1.0 compatible) version on http://code.google.com/p/beta-lib/downloads/list

should be fixed with #37 and #38, BTW this issue is too old to tell for sure...
