I have had same problem.  I talked it over with technical support
at the card company.  A new card was sent to me. (Traded.)

I think it is a VERY bad idea to try to format one of these cards
as FAT32.  I had one company tell me that, and another was
luke warm about it.

If you are able to get the card recognized (in anything other than
RAW mode during a data recovery operation) please e-mail me direct.
(The files are still on the card, you just can't see them normally,
or have regular access to the card using normal tools.)

I think I goofed. My HP digital camera does not work well with my XP system,
so I connected a USB Flash Memory Card reader to my computer. Not knowing
any better, I tried to erase the Flash Card by selecting Quick Format on my
Explorer options. Now the card is not recognized by the camera.

Did I destroy the Flash Card, or is there some salvation?

A secondary question is: can a Flash Card be erased by the computer through
the card reader? As you can tell, I am new to the Flash Card reader stuff.
