Any friends with similar CF cameras?..try your card in theirs to make sure your old card isnt fried... Try formatting with pc in card reader... then reformat inside Nikon. I had a similar problem once... pin in camera was bent...
Thank you George, but my budding photographer is 11, frustrated and has decided to sell. We are unable to get to a Portland shop. But getting the feed back was awesome he didn't believe me. So, that being said anyone looking for package deal..flash lenses etc. Craigslist here we come. ☺
