Help! I need help figuring out what I need to do to get my memory card working again. It is a fujifilm xD 256 mb card. I stuck my memory card in the computer, and accidentally left a file open while taking it out. Now, whenever I turn my camera on, it tells me that the card needs to be formatted. So I keep trying to format it, but whenever I try, I keep getting an error message. Is there anything I can do to recover my memory card?
