did you format the new card in the camera before you started taking pictures with it?

The card is probably toast. A common known issue with Canon powershot cameras and CF cards. Call the card company and bitch about it.

Like Casey said, make sure you format the card in the camera, and NOT in a card reader. If that doesn't work, the card is likely gone.

When Canon's do this crap, it won't let you do ANYTHING. It won't be able to read, write, OR format. The camera can't help you.

Kevin, you can try a card reader, but if that doesn't work you might be out of luck. :(

I know there are several image recovery programs out there. I've never had to try any (knock on wood) so I can't recommend one.

This came with one of my cameras:

I'm sure there are others - maybe one can help you?
