[OM] XD card troubles

Hi, Y'all-
I think I've trashed one of my Dad's XD cards for his Olympus digicam.

The camera can tell that there is a card in it, but can't show any of the 
pictures.
Dad's Compaq Presario has XD/compact flash/SD/etc. port on the front, and it 
doesn't even recognize 
  that there is a card in the slot.
On the other hand, his HP 8250 printer does recognize the card and shows all 
the pictures.

So what is the best way of handling this? print what he wants with the printer 
and then format it 
in the camera?

How I killed his card:
I'm setting up a network so my Dad can share files and printers between his 
Presario and his old 
IBM laptop. The Presario runs Windows XP, and the laptop runs Windows 98. The 
XP network wizard 
wants to create a setup disk for other machines on the net, but since the 
Presario doesn't have a 
floppy, the only drive it will create it on is one of the XD/compact flash/SD 
ports. Not a CD, and 
not a USB Jump drive. The network wizard did manage to put a file on the XD 
card, but then the 
Presario lost all contact with the card. Suggestions on how to tame the network 
wizard would be 
appreciated too.

Thanks, Steve Goss, Dallas, TX usa
