Hi, it sounds like the card has an error and will not work properly if you have another card and you put it in and it works ok then that proves the first card had an error If you put the first card in and it asked you to format it what it does is it makes the card ready for use in your camera and if there is anything on the card and it formats it it will erase everything on the card. When installing a new card on a camera it will always want to format the new card and you let the unit format the card. In the end if you put a new card in and go through the format stage and the camera still comes up with error you have a fault with your camera.
what kind of card are you using? If your not using SM media card you might consider buying one..but before you get a new one try to borrow from someone or try to put a different memory card and see if it still shows a card error message...
Take a look inside your camera's CF card slot. I suspect that you may have a bent pin in there. If so, remove batteries and card. Use a small/skinny jeweler's flat screwdriver to bend the pin back as close as possible. The jeweler's screwdrivers that you see at the dollar store will work fine. Another tool that I sometimes use is a stiff wire with a bent hook on the end to get very flattened pins started. Take your time and use as much patience as you can muster (take a breather in between if needed). Just keep nudging it upward/straighter a "tiny bit at a time". Whatever you do, don't try to unbend it with one push/nudge, you won't be able to do it.
It doesn't have to be perfect, just as close as you can get it. When it's the best that you can get it, take your flash card and "SLOWLY" insert it. The card itself should fine-align the pin. Remove the card, and verify that the pin is still straightened. If so, reinsert the card and try it out.
Try formating card on your computer using An adapter. by then it should reformat card, if error still shows on computer chances are card maybe defective. check card as well if its lock or write protected there is a white switch on the side of the memory card itself.
