    No physical damage is done to the device. The recovery operation is read only.

    Something went wrong that you needed to use it though, so I would treat the device as suspect. Most certainly after this mis-adventure I would use the camera’s menu system to format the card.

    if you have the receipt
    the memory stick has a warranty
    you need to buy one in the mean time
