I have taken 30 now it tells me that the card is full
The number depends on the resolution and image quality. It will also depend on the subject. See the table on page 85 of this manual. Thirty is about right for 1- or 2-megapixel photos.
SOURCE: CF Excessive Power
There is a well-known problem that certain compact flash cards cause excessive battery drain in the Fuji S-7000 camera. For instance, I picked up a compact flash at a retailer, put it in the camera, took one picture, turned off the camera. The following morning the batteries were dead. I can't say exactly which ones don't cause the battery drain (there's a site on the Internet with that info, I've lost the URL), but (unfortunately) SanDisk and PQI(I think that's the name) CF's are among the ones that do. I have a SimpleTech 512MB and a Lexar 512MB 40x CF, and both work fine & don't drain battery.

May was a long time ago - you may have solved this by now...
A330 cameras only accept certain types of xD cards. If you have a type 'h' card, it won't work.
I have a card that says "H512mb" and it's useless. You can only use cards with no letters before the card size or type "M" cards. With a type "M", you need to upgrade the camera firmware.

This is a REALLY good file retriever. However, it doesn't fix the card problem (not yet anyway) - Smart Recovery - download at http://www.pcinspector.de/download_all.htm?language=1##e_maxx

Sometimes it's just cause the battery's low... Weird but true. And it might also be beccause it didn't ''clic'' in the slot!
SOURCE: initializing of xD-Picture card
The S3000 has a 512MB limit according to Fuji. Ther is also no firmware upgrade to address this issue. However I loaded a 1GB Olympus M type card into th S3000, which was pre-fornatted and worked straight away. After putting the card into the reader in my laptop, and then returning to the camera, the camera identified the card as not initialized. I tried to format the card in the camera but this didn't work.
To fix this I connected the camera to the computer using the USB cable located the camera card via My Computer, left clicked on and did a quick format in FAT (FAT16). After this the camera read the card and indicated 1305 frames available at 3M.
