Card error!
Olympus XD card formatted on Windows XP produces Card Error when trying to
format in camera. Works fine as a drive in Windows, Read / Write, Copy / Paste etc, but nothing possible in camera. Anyone know if it's fixable? |

Use the formater that came with the reader or at least download one.

If it's a large card (256 or more MB) Windows might have formatted it using FAT32. Most cameras can only recognize cards formatted with FAT16. Try format it again.. The 'Format' window will have an option for "File System". Make sure FAT is selected and not FAT 32. It is formatted FAT not FAT 32, I'm thinking the in-Camera Format puts something on the card that Windows XP format can't. In Windows Explorer it behaves like any other drive, but when it is in the Camera the only choice I get is Format or Turn Off, selecting Format produces *Card Error!* and I can go no further. |

Do other cards work in your camera? If not possibly the issue is with your camera not the card. Maybe try blowing out the card slot with some compressed air?
