Format xd card error
I bought new Fugifilm xD-Picture card, 1 GB, and putit in camera. Brought up format screen and attempted to format. All I got was "card error!". I thought the problem might be the brand. So, I bought an Olymous xD-Picture card, 1 GB, loaded it into the camera. Attempts to take a picture resulted in "card error!" so I tried to format, with the same result - "card error!'.
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.

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.

Yes there is, you can either use a multi card reader in which you will attach to your pc, or connect your cam to pc and loading the softwares for your olympus camera.
A card access error may indicate that an xD-Picture Card memory card is in a write-protected condition. xD-Picture Card memory cards have a special protection feature to ensure that your pictures are kept safe.
NOTE:
During this condition, you can still use the printer for printing and saving photos from the xD-Picture Card to a secure location, such as the computer hard drive.
To resolve this error, try the following:
Reinsert the xD-Picture Card memory card into your camera and turn on the camera. In most cases, the camera automatically makes the necessary changes.
Reformat the xD-Picture Card memory card. See the documentation that came with your camera for instructions on reformatting the memory card. Note that this process erases the pictures currently saved to your memory card. To save these pictures, transfer them to the computer before reformatting the memory card. Once you reformat the memory card, transfer those photos back to the memory card using the computer.
