deleting shot seizes 30D

I am using a Sandisk Ultra II 2GB CF in my Canon 30D. Twice now when I have
been deleting individual shots with the camera "Image Protected" appears on
the LCD and the camera freezes - it just seizes up. (BTW both times I have
already deleted several shots before the problem occurs) I have never
chosen to Protct an image. If I shut the main power switch to OFF the red
light stays on and the camera remains non-functional. I have to remove the
battery from the camera and reinsert it to use it again. I have reformatted
the card several times between the two time that it happened, yet it did
happen a second time. Do I have cause for concern? Any remedy?? I will be
taking the camera to Kenya in November to photograph my new born grandson &
hopefully wildlife as well. I would hate to lose any shots that might be
significant memories. How do I tell if the glitch occured because of the CF
or the camera? Thanks in advance for helpful advice.

How to tell if the glitch is card or camera related...
Try another card. If the glitch doesn't re-occur, the problem is
probably in the card.
It's much less expensive to try a new card instead of a new camera,
unless one has a friend with the same model camera. :-)
