Canon 1D Mark II N - SD card will not format.

Bought used through B&H as a faster shutter speed for outdoor sports.

I have tried to manually format the card and it appears to be fine. I have tried the card in my 5D Mark IV body, and it was functional. Working cards would not work.

What size is the card, the EOS-1D Mark II N is quite old so probably doesn't support large capacity cards. Maybe limited to 32GB at max.

Quick Follow up - Would the CF II card have any limitations to be aware of? For example, the SD is limited to 2GB. Would the CF card be size-limited, or would there be a conflict with write speed compatibilities?
