You might have locked memory card. If not first try to connect memory card to PC with memory card reader and try to copy your stuff... then after you take all stuff try to format it.
Storing digital picture information to a CompactFlash card (as when a digital image is taken) is similar to storing data on the hard drive of a computer -- if the process is stopped or interrupted, the information stored is not complete and, therefore, "corrupts" the storage media. A computer will display a warning message indicating that the hard drive has errors, while a camera will display a message indicating the memory card is corrupted.
The CompactFlash card corruption can be caused by:
* Turning off the camera power before the photo information is completely stored on the card.
* Removing the card before the photo information is completely stored on it.
* Taking a second picture before the camera has finished storing the previous picture.
* Camera batteries that are near the end of their life and need to be replaced.
Once a CompactFlash card is corrupted, it can be used again only by performing a Format procedure.
IMPORTANT! When a CompactFlash card is re-formatted, any pictures stored on it will be lost forever and cannot be recovered.

A digital camera's Format command is used to prepare a removeable CompactFlash memory card to accept digital image information from the camera. A card should be formatted when:
* the card is new and has never been used before.
* the card was used in a different camera or other device that accepts CompactFlash cards.
* the card has become "corrupted" and will not store additional images.
Download all images into your computer that you want to save, put the card into it's adapter, then place it in a computer with a type II PCMCIA socket and run a DOS format command. After reformatting, the card will have 16MB available.
Make sure you're using an ATA-compatible Type-I CompactFlash memory card. Make sure you've installed the card correctly. The card's label should be facing the front of the camera, and the arrow(s) on the label should point in.
