My advice would be to try fdisking & mkfsing it from a Linux box (other than N800). If you don't have one, get a liveCD. (I'd personally use the Slackware install disk as a liveCD, but I don't advise that unless you're comfortable around UNIX; Ubuntu seems the most popular for such chores.)
If you don't know what to do yourself, you'll need someone else's advice on what exactly to do; I haven't done KDE, so I can't give you the exact commands you'd need. But I'm pretty sure this is the easiest way from here forward.

I don't know much about the problem but back when I ran 2K/XP, if I ever ran into any problems like that I'd grab a Linux Live CD. I managed to fix a friend's MP3 player that was saying the memory was corrupted like this (and it crashed the file manager too).
These instructions are taken from Pen Drive Linux (I just used them to get Ubuntu on my EEE). I've modified some lines for your specific situation:
You'll still have to format it but blowing the partition away should allow you to get past the errors you were having.
*Edit: And BE CAREFUL. If you reference your HDD instead of the flash drive, it'll be a fun afternoon of reinstalling everything.
These instructions are taken from Pen Drive Linux (I just used them to get Ubuntu on my EEE). I've modified some lines for your specific situation:
# Grab the Ubuntu 7.10 ISO and burn it to a CD
# Insert the CD and your USB flash drive
# Reboot your computer into Ubuntu from the Live CD
# Open a terminal window and type sudo su
# Type fdisk -l to list available drives/partitions. Note which device is your flash drive (example: /dev/sda) Throughout this tutorial, replace x with your flash drive letter. For example, if your flash drive is sdb, replace x with b.
# Type umount /dev/sdx1
# Type fdisk /dev/sdx
* type p to show the existing partition and d to delete it
* type p again to show any remaining partitions (if partitions exist, repeat the previous step)
* type n to make a new partition
* type p for primary partition
* type 1 to make this the first partition
* hit enter to use the default 1st cylinder
* hit enter again to use the default last cylinder
* type a to make this partition active
* type 1 to select partition 1
* type t to change the partition filesystem
* type 6 to select the fat16 file system
- If you want a different file system, type l to list them all and enter the appropriate number
* type w to write the partition table
* type q to quit

I know that this topic has been discussed ad-nauseum for the older devices and OS. I have read through many of the threads and have not been able to find the answer. I am running an n 800 in OS2008
Here is what I have tried:
1. Reformatted in n800 - did not work
2. tried to look at card on windows system - was not seen by drive. and caused My computer folder to stop operating.
3. tried formatting in a digital camers - ineffectve.
I would be incredibly grateful to either pointers to other threads or a link that would incredily helpful
