I just did a quick glance of the archives for that error number.  It  
doesn't look promising.
The scenario you describe doesn't seem correct, an internally stored  
note or any other data should not automatically transfer to an  
inserted card even if it has store new data to card.  Due to concerns  
about notes, names and dates data spread onto several memory  
locations, I started selecting the option in each of these apps to  
always store to the internal store.  I had an incident similar to  
yours and lost both names and notes.
If you have another card I would recommend first backing you internal  
store to it or to your computer. Then insert card with no apps  
running, if it mounts do not try to run or transfer Notes or notes  
data but perhaps you can save other info.
If you must erase card, open Prefs and insert card with Prefs open.

Good luck
Woody
