I found this elsewhere on this website:

(Amy Smith - 7/14/07)

As suggested in an earlier post:

- Removed the CF card
- Held down 'Menu' key until I could reset to factory default settings
- Popped in card
- Formatted it
- Restarted camera.

Well, it didn't work for me & not wanting to unscrew all the tiny screws and open up my camera
I just reformatted the card a 2nd time. This time it worked! What a relief!

Maybe that will help. Also, others have posted that they have had Canon fix this problem for free.
