Camera not formatting CF cards

I have 4 Compact flash cards one of which was in the camera EOS 40D and was working

I removed the flash card to transfer data to my Win 11 when i replaced the flash card back into the camera there was a message "CF card not formatted Format card with this camera" which i did and another message "Cannot format change the CF card" which i did.

Still the same messages

I then formatted all 4 cards through the computer and got the same messages on all 4 cards

The cards are

Canon FC-32M, the original card

ScanDisk 256MB

Extreme 128GB 120MB/s which was the card i was using in the camera

Extreme Pro 32GB 160 MB/s brand new

I have checked the pins in the card slot and they are fine

My feelings are that its the camera or camera soft/firmware as the new card should have just slotted in

Any help i would be grateful

Hi @neilbennett,

What format did you use when using Win11?

Most camera cards get formatted in either FAT32 or Fat16 format.

Sorry

Tried FAT32 and exFAT on all of them

If they formatted in Windows and won't format in the camera, then it has to be a camera problem as you surmise.

See if you can run a test on them in Windows. I doubt that will show anything, since all 4 can't be corrupt.
