Help "Damaged SD Card" on the internal card

[HugMyster]

It seems that the "Damaged SD Card" error is a lot more frequent than I'd like to think, only the one on my system seems to be linked to my internal SD card. I upgraded my version of Android (KitKat?) but this horrid little message appeared. However, when I turned the tablet off, removed the external SD card and turned it back on again, it re-appeared. I can only think that the upgrade affected the internal card, which I cannot remove - without a screwdriver and a lot of grunt anyway!

Is it safe to format the internal card please?

All help appreciated!

If it's under warranty, I'd just briing it in. It could be a software problem, which a format might (or might not) fix - or it could bee a hardware problem - which would require parts replacement. (The "internal card" isn't a microSD card mounted internally, it's an area of the phone's storage with software to simulate a card as far as software sees it.)
