Digital Camera Memory Stick Assistance Needed!

Archived from groups: comp.sys.mac.hardware.storage,comp.sys.mac.apps,rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I'm leaving on 2 week trip tomorrow morning and hopefully someone has a
solution to problem with one of my memory sticks.

I loaned a 128 mb Lexar memory stick to a friend, who for some reason
decided to reformat the stick on their computer (Mac) - guess they
thought they were being helpful cleaning up their files.

Now when I insert into camera it says "Format Error".

I went to set-up in menu on camera and hit "Format" but that doesn't
seem to do anything?

Is there another way on or off the camera to get this memory stick
re-formatted so the camera will recognize it?
