You should be able to from within the camera through the menus or right click on the drive in windows and click format

or is the disk not even being read?

You should not have to connect your camera to the PC to Format your card.
There should be a menu function in your camera to Format.
Warning: Formatting will erase all data on your card.

If the card is so corrupted that it cannot even be formatted, why do you want to risk precious pictures using it ?

SD cards = cheap

So buy a new one and don't risk losing everything.

There is a formatter that might work at http://www.sdcard.org/Downloads.aspx
