Question about Olympus Camedia D-540 Zoom Digital Camera

Olympus XD card low level formatting help needed

I too have an Olympus 1 GB XD card that worked fine for 8 months before my laptop accidentally tried to use the XD card in the laptop XD card slot as a backup drive and tried writing files onto it. Ever since, the card does not work in my Olympus C-770 Ultrazoom camera. Reformatting from the camera does not work as it tries it and comes up with a blue screen on the camera showing " Card Error". I understand that the laptop has damaged the low level formatting on the XD card as it tried to write files on to the card. Looked up several solutions on the web, no luck !! Still struggling to get the card to work. Anyone successful, please help.

Anonymous Jun 03, 2007

Thanks for the tip.

I tried to once again read the defective card on the laptop but it fails to recognise or even acknowledge the card as a removable drive any more.

Putting it back on the camera, it immediately asks whether to "power off" or "format card". If I select format, it tries to format and halfway through, stops and gives "card error".

Can you help further.

Thanks

Purchase another card (smaller memory and cheaper...as a test). install it. if it works, then read file folder names under windows and then copy these folders over to the 1GB card.

Try formatting the card on your pc, connect the card to a card reader, open my computer find the card, right click format, try standard fat first and format. if that doesn't work try Fat 32.

Cant get anything when i installed the memory card for my olympus

If this is a C-700 camera the only memory card that can be used in that camera is a Smartmedia card from 16mb to 128mb. An xD card is not even supported by that camera at all.

XD memory card confusion

The xD-Picture Card (xD stands for "extreme digital.") is a flash memory card format developed and introduced to the market in July 2002 by Olympus and Fujifilm, and manufactured by the Toshiba Corporation. xD cards are in Olympus and Fujifilm digital cameras, and are available in a range of sizes, from 16 MB to 2 GB currently. A higher-performance xD card known as Type M came out in 2005, and uses Multi Level Cell (MLC) architecture.
An xD card is 20mm x 25mm x 1.78mm and weighs about 2.8 g, making it significantly smaller than the nearly matchbook-sized CF card and about half the size of the SD/MMC card. As far as size goes, it is much closer to miniSD or RS-MMC. The manufacturer listed write speeds for xD-Picture Cards are: for the 16 MB and 32 MB card, 1.3 MB/s and for the 64MB and higher cards, 3 MB/s. Both offer a minimum read speed of 5 MB/s. The xD Type M cards have a faster standard rate of 4.0MB/s for reading and 2.5MB/s for writing.
Anything up to 2gb will work with your camera, either the type M or the type M+ will be fine.
