Dane-Elec Micro SD Card: Format Failure? Please help!?

Okay so here's the story:

I have a Micro SD card, with an adapter.[From Dane-Elec] I wanted to put songs on it, and transfer them to my phone, a Razor. So I tested it to see if it would work, and put 3 songs on the card, and moved them to my phone sucessfully.

Then I decided to move all my songs at once, about 50 total. So I moved them all on there. But when I put it in the phone, and went to check for the songs they weren't there.

I tried to find out what happened, and it said it needed to be formatted. So I said yes, knowing I still had copies of my songs, so I was willing to loose the data.

I thought it would work, but when I stuck it in my computer, it just made some noise. I went to check for it, but it showed up no where. [The SD folder]

Also, usually when I put it in the computer, a thing would pop-up saying which way do you want to open up files. But it didn't this time.

So I put the micro in my phone, tried to format it again, and it said, FORMAT FAILURE.

So how do I fix it? Can I do it, or do I need someone else to so it?

Please help!

Also, the best way gets the best answer! ^ ^

Update:

Yes I do have Windows Vista, but it doesn't show up at all. I do have a friend though that's good with computers and all that, so I may ask them.

    Thats a tough one. It sounds like it might have fried. When you put it in the PC does the PC not recognize it at all? No pop ups and you cant go to "My Computer" and see that there is in fact a card inserted? (Im assuming Windows use if its an apple, im not sure what the equivalent is in OS10 maybe an apple user can chime in. If its not seeing it when you put it in id try another known working one see if it sees it, if it sees that one but not the other im afraid it might be baked. You may also want to take it say to an electronics store or a friends and see if they can get it to come up.
