Addison: In XP, try
Start Menu > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Storage \ Disk Management
Right-click on the SD card, choose "Delete Partition" and then make a new partition and format it as FAT32.
If it is still corrupted, take the card out of the computer, and see how far away you can stand and still hit the garbage can with the card.

Addison:
Try the GParted Live CD.
After that, I'm fresh out of ideas. I don't know why things aren't working for you. I'm no SD card format guru...
Weird that the card looks fine ("healthy") in Windows but not in the tablet!

Addison: You need to format the card into two partitions. The first partition should be FAT32 and it should be fairly small, no bigger than 2 GB. The rest of the card should have an ext2 partition.
GParted is quite graphical and straightforward. Make sure you choose your SD card in the drop-down box in the top right, and then you can repartition just by clicking on the different coloured partitions. Since you seem to have blanked the card anyway, I'd delete the existing partitions and create new ones. In fact, you could probably tell it to make a new partition table, wiping the whole card.
One thing that might help when making the first FAT32 partition is to uncheck the "round to cylinders" option and make sure that you leave 8MB free at the beginning of the card. Lots of cards leave a bit of space at the beginning like that. Not sure why, just something they do.
Can you try to use the GParted live CD to do repartition your card, and then ask specific questions about places in the procedure where you're having problems?
