SD card not formatting

When I click on "format", the card will still not format. I have a Digital Optio 33LF Pentax.

That sounds like an older camera! Have you verified that the sd card isn't locked, and that the card is supported by your camera? Older cameras won't work with large or SDHC cards, for instance.

Can you try formatting it on a computer/card reader?
