Having Problems with Compact Flash Memory Card

[mehmetmunur]

I have a 128 MB compact flash card from Sandisk that I use on my Canon camera. Today, I took a picture and the whole LCD screen went white. So I tried to turn it off, and when the camera did not respond, I took off the battery. Then I tried to put it back on and turn on the camera only to find out that the compact flash card was not recognized. I tried to format it but that did not work either. The camera gave me some sort of error. So I put the card in the card reader and tried to format it there, but windows would no recognize it. Any ideas as to how I can reformat the card? I am not worried about recovering anything on the card itself. Thanks for the help in advance.

Place card on workbench.
Find biggest hammer you have.
Use Extreme Prejustice.
