Corrupt pictures on memory card

[ifoundabuddy]

Hello, i purchased a new Compact Flash memory card for my Canon digital camera, and when looking at the pictures i had taken this past weekend, i found 3 photographs of the 250 some that were only partial pictures, and it said they may be 'corrupt.' All the other pictures were fine. I deleted those three pictures from the camera before downloading them to Photoshop Elements, but now i am wondering if the memory card is no longer reliable, and will this happen to more of the pictures. I am planning a long important vacation and certainly do not want to lose photographs at that time.

It's usually a good idea to format the card in that camera before using the card.
