do you have a windows or unix like machine?
if unix like (linux or mac, although I've never used a mac) you can use dd=
to overwrite the first blocks of the disk
something like (you have to be root)
dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3D/dev/sd
the if means "input from"
the of means "output from"
/dev/sd should be the device of the card (use dmesg to find out which one
it is. should be the last one indicated in the log.
* WARNING *
PLEASE, IF YOU DON'T KNOW FOR SURE THE DEVICE DON'T USE THE COMMAND ABOVE.=
IT CAN REALLY SPOIL YOUR DAY BIG TIME.
* WARNING *
this command fills your card with zeros. sometimes I use this trick to
properly clean cards or disks. then I really now they are "blank"
I think you could try to zero your card and then format on the machine
