My camera says err 02 so when I take the CF card out I can pull up the menu but NOT when I put the CF card in to click on format?!
Check for bent or broken CF pins.

Well there is a known problem witht eh CF memory design, i hope this is not your problem but it may be. Take your camera into a well lit area or get a small flash light. Open the memory door and peek down inside the camera and look at the pins inside the camera. Are they all uniform? does any look bent or out of place? there should be 2 uniform rows no pins should be missing or out of place. If they are you have a connection problem. This is one of the issues with this memory format and its why they have changed the design to SD. This is common with people who remove the cards alot and use a reader over time the card and the slot becomes warn and its very easy to bend pins because the card isnt sliding in smooth. If this is your problem (a few bent pins) you may have to take it in for service or try and fix it yourself. Ive read about people using a mechanical pencil. Remove the lead and the pin slips right into the top and you can carefuly move it back. Hope this helps!

Observe the connector inside camera, using a flashlight. If there is a bent pin take the camera to service immediately. Don't turn it on any more as we did in one similar case - creating a short circuit that damaged the camera electronics and voided the warranty.
If no visible problems, remove battery and leave it out overnight.

Nope, this is not card anymore.
As you know CF is card failure, sometimes this cause to start error 99 , that is lens error , even if there is no problem with the lens.
This happens because the built in software in the camera can get messed up after an error CF.
You fix the problem calling Canon, they will guide through upgrading the firmware in your camera.
First ensure that you are using the camera menu and command to format the new card, and that new cards are properly inserted into the machine.
Call Canon support to get a firmware upgrade.

Hi there, did you check the card itself? SD cards have a locking switch on the side. Move the switch from locked to unlocked. Put it back in the camera and see if that helps.

Try formatting it on your computer...make sure you are formatting "that" drive and not your C drive.
