3. Press the Menu button, then go to the Setup Menu.
4. Scroll up or down to the Format option, then press the OK button.
5. Follow the prompts to format the memory card
6. For more information, see your camera User Guide ->http://www.kodak.com/go/manuals

This error message means that the card is corrupted or formatted for another digital camera. Turn off the camera. Insert a new card or format the card.
Try to format the memmory card using a card reader and the PC this should solve your problem if not you have to replace the memmory card.

The best thing would be to borrow a laptop or PC with a card slot, and format it there.
If it continues to show error when formatting, the card is defective and should be replaced. (Returned?)
Out of 5 memory devices I have bought in last 3 years, 2 came with a free virus. This from reputable stores. Be sure PC has antivirus installed.

It is not at all unusual these days to find NEW memory devices that don't work. Production methods are cheap as they can be. Just return it for refund or exchange.

1. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format"...follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory.
2. Insert the card and do the "format" thing again.

The C743 is only good to 2 GB other models of Kodak can use the larger cards but not the c743

Hi sir =)

Insert your memory card into your computer's reader if you have one. If not, you can purchase a multi-format USB Memory Card reader from Amazon.com or Buy.com

2 Open up 'My Computer'. You should see it under the list of available drives.

3 Check its contents first to make sure that you have the right drive.

4 In 'My Computer', right-click on the drive and choose 'Format'.

5 Leave all the options as they are and click on 'Start'. This is a non-reversible process so make sure this is what you truly wanted to do in the first place.

6 Once the process is completed, take the memory card out and insert it into your Digital Camera or any other device. Try to browse to it to make sure it works fine now.

1. Insert the memory card into the camera. Make sure the card is firmly seated (push in the card until it clicks into place).

5. Follow the prompts to format the memory card.

Memory card support for Z1285: SD/MMC up to 2 Gigabyte and SDHC up to 8 Gigabyte.

There is no firmware available online for this model.

The last option could be that the lever on the SD card is making the SD card data protected. Please turn the lever to the correct side.

I hope it works out

I had that problem too back in the day and the camera wouldn't format the card. I believe it's an early sign of the camera on it's last legs of life.

Just plug the card into your computer and do it that way... Also double check that your memory card isn't set on the lock position that could be making the memory card a read only card at the moment

Most Kodak cameras only allow you to use up to 2gig memory cards. When I was on holiday I bought a 4gig for myself and I was told after that it would not work on it. I tried formating it everything but nothing works.
