How can I initialize my xd picture card?

[vijesh]

I bought a xd picture card for my fujifilm finepix camera about a month ago and it was working fine until today that I transfered a couple of photos and then I put it back into the camera and it didnt work anymore, all it says is "card not initialized". I tried to format the xd card in the computer but it says it's written protected, any idea of what should I do?

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks a lot!:thumbsup:

Hi, I'm having similar problems with my Fujifilm S6500...

Having just got back from holiday I've been unable to download any images from my 1GB XD card, so I then read the manual :idea: and realised the card needed formating first...:blush2:
Could anyone please tell me if there's any way of accessing the pictures? :cryin:

I've since bought another XD card, formated this one but have found I'm still unable to download photos to my Mac. The purchase of a Dazzle card reader hasn't helped either and now the camera is staying the card is not initalized....:mad2: Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I too came back from vaction and was unable to access my photos due to initialize problem. After a long search I found "Art Plus Digital Photo Recovery". Bam - I retrieved all my photos with no hassel and for free. If you use, please consider sending them a few bucks as a courtesy.
