Is the card too big? Some old cameras -- and an ist-D is very old in digital camera terms -- are limited as to what capacity chips they can use. Check your manual or Google it. Also, it's not unheard of for a chip to be defective right out of the box. Try it in another device to ensure that it's not a defect.

Maybe you have to format the card before the camera recognizes it

Did you just buy this card or have you had it working for a while and now this is happening?
From everything i have read about your camera, they won't take a 2 Gig card. A 1 GIG card is the biggest that is compatible with this camera. If the card is new i would take it back to the store and see if they will let you exchange it for a 1 GIG card.
If this just started happening after using it for a while -- it could be a problem with the card or the camera. Try putting in a different card and see if it will let you format that one. If it does you know for sure the problem is with the card. If you keep getting the same message no matter what card you use, i would phone Kodak. But, according to Kodaks own site, 1 GIG is the biggest card that is compatible. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Good Luck.

I had a similar problem with my istD until I finally managed to fix it.
Try this:
Take off the lens and gently lift the reflex mirror with you finger nail.
Very gently prise open the secondary mirror concealed underneath it to check that it moves freely.
Now take a pencil eraser and rub the electrical contacts around the lens mouth on the body.
Give them a good rub and blow out any resulting dust.
Pop the lens back on and take a few shots to confirm that autofocus now works perfectly (make sure you have fresh batteries)
Let me know if it works for you too.

Guys you have to have the camera format the SD card itself for best results and compatibility.

I have the same problem with the same camera. I checked other sites and it seems that the C330 takes only SD cards up to a max of 1GB. It won't read SDHC cards and it won't read SD cards greater than 1GB.
