This problem comes up quite frequently with the v3i's. I would try another memory card and see if that works. Your card should have came iwth a warrenty. Also, just so you know. I hear that the scandisk memory cards seem to work a lot better when it comes to being able to format them. If you cant take back the kingston card, that sucks. but if you get a scandisk it will work.

I use sandisk memory cards in all my camera phones. They seem to have the least amount of problems for me.
