Here comes to Photographic Consultant in me...

There are a number of potential problems here, the first is that you have the SD card "locked". On the (normally left hand) side of the card there will be a little slider - next to it will say "lock" - make sure it is not in the locked position.
Secondly, the card may be corrupt. This is something I saw regularly when I worked as a Photo Consultant.
Finally, it could be that the camera is not compatible with the high capacity SD cards (the HC in SDHC). If it's new this is unlikely, but it might be worth checking the manual. Of course there could be many other problems :P.

Generally if you get the "card error" message you can't do anything with the camera. If you are able to format the memory card it might be worth a try however if you do format it you will almost certainly lose all the pictures on the memory card unless you have a back up.
