"This card cannot be used"

[crabcake]

I bought a new 1 gb SD card for my digitial camera. The car is made by Kodak; camera is a Toshiba. I put the card in, and the aforementioned message flashes up on my camera screen.

The card instructions say if it doesn't work to reformat it in the device. How the heck do I do that? :shrug:

There will be a menu option on the camera to do so.

I looked but nothing it jumping out at me on the list of menu options to do it. Most of the menu options pertain to the camera settings itself (lcd display, size of photos, preview, etc.).

Push the "Format" button.
YW.

 

[crabcake]

The only menu option pertaining to the card is "Card Info" which shows how much memory it has and how much is free.

It is usually in that section. Settings or Utilities.

Not to be a smartass....

It does do movies, too, but it's primarily a digital camera (it's not one of newer fancy multi-function digital cameras; it's about 5 years old).

Is there a website I can go to that will allow me to reformat the card on my computer?

I ain't readin' no stinkin' manual!

Men have built in Manuals.

We know everything.

If you have a card reader on your computer, open the "My Computer" Icon, right click on the drive that corresponds to the SD Card and choose "format" from the menu.

I might be a woman, but I'm not blonde.

I already tried that ... no fixie.

but I'm not blonde.

Sounds like you should be.

Yes, lots of it too.

Do you have a hammer?

 

[crabcake]

Do you have a hammer?

Yes ... but I'm not quite ready for that step yet. It's a great camera; takes great pics. I just wanted a larger mem card for the daggone thing. :

 

[crabcake]

This is the camera. I'm looking online for the owner's manual. I know I have it somewhere but off the top of my head, I don't know where.

Great organization skills too.

If you had a beer in your hand, that might make it worth coming up there and laying the smack down ... ONLY so I could also take your beer away from you.
