How do I format my memory card on my computer?

Recently purchased a Kodak EasyShare C330 and Dane-Elec 256mb memory card. After installing the memory card, I get a "Memory card is full" message. When I try to format the card with the camera, I get a "FILESYS ERROR e00100" message...

Then where do i go to to format my memory card? My memory card reads error, so where can i locate it on the computer?

I bought a new memory card. I tried formatting from the PSP, but it wasn't reading the card. Now I have to format it from my computer and I don't have an idea where to begin.

I have 3 memory cards, when i put two of the three in the card reader, into my computer, it pops up a window "you need to format the disk in drive f: before you can use it" i read that could be the card going bad, but the card works perfectly...

On digital photography forums I often see people advising others to always use the camera to format a memory card, never a computer. Does it actually make any difference at all, or is it just superstition at this point if one is using a modern camera...

when i insert my memory card into my computer it says its not recognized and asks if i want to format it...if i format it, does it erase everything on the card?

It works great in my camera! I'm wanting to transfer my pictures on to my computer but every time I put my memory card in my laptop it tells me I need to format it. I don't want to format it because I don't want to lose my pictures! Any suggestions on...
