Oops! Missed the full image below, downsides to iPhone viewing.
If its both cards, all shots, likely a camera issue.
Try pulling the battery (and clock battery if it has one) for a couple of minutes, hard reboot for the camera. If the issue is still there, time to call Canon Service.

Re-estimate Meaning that they charged me $153.00 before do anything just to open my camera even I being a gold CPS member. They sent me two emails asking for a feedback but were unable to send me a single email status of my repair. I'm selling it for parts and go for a 5DIII. The supervisor on the phone promised me that it would be no parts just calibration then I asked " why do i need to pay for an estimate? Why do I pay $100 to Canon every year?" Canon in Newport is CR@p!

You pay $100 a year because you think it makes you a pro. The service that you get for that is on your invoice, if you were not CPS you would have been billed $3,145.51, had you chosen to do the repair you would have been billed $2,487.27, CPS membership would have saved you $658.24.
Why do they charge to open your camera? My guess would be because every time anybody ever took an out of focus or incorrectly exposed image they would blame Canon and send their camera in for "free" estimates. I get five free cleans and checks a year, but no free estimates on damaged gear.
Even for non CPS the phone staff have a discretionary 15% they can work with too, it pays to be nice to the telephone staff.

If you are brave (I would do it), there is a 1Ds II on eBay now for $750 ($1000 buy it now) with a broken shutter you could steal the sensor from. Cheaper than a new FF camera.

I already sold the ugly cps strap last night for $37 + saving a shipping from Newport= $50, maybe I can sell the canon lens book? but for sure I'm gonna loan every camera and lens they have.

Or this one on eBay for $800 BIN with a bunch of accessories (although no description).
EDIT: Whoops, forgot the link.

Replacement of the sensor would be pretty similar to this (Steps 1 through 10):

Life Pixel doesn't have a DIY tutorial on modification of the 1Ds Mark II.

Don't see anything about free estimates in there, which is probably why you were charged, I'd hardly call that crap service, but then some people have very strange ideas about contracts with corporations.

That has a scratched sensor filter and so has zero value to the OP. Not saying it isn't a smart idea, and even if you didn't want to DIY it you could give them both to a camera repair shop to swap a sensor out, the main problem repair shops have is getting parts, if you can buy them yourself then it makes this still very capable gear repairable.

I can see if you paid full retail of $8k back in early 2005 for the 1Ds Mark II and trying to keep it. If not, just get a new camera. There are tons of models available today for way cheaper that are much better. The technology has improved a lot and the tech has also become cheaper. After my sides stopped aching from laughing reading Canon's quote, I just thought to myself, what would I do? I'd probably go for a 6D as my studio camera.
