My code is as follows

void delay (unsigned int k)
for (i=0;i<=k;i++)
{
;
}
void main(void)
{
FSFILE *MyFile;
unsigned char txt[ ]="This is a TEXT message";
TRISB=0;
//
// Initialize the SD card routines
//
FSInit( );
if (FSInit()!=TRUE)
{PORTB=0xFF;
delay(10000);
PORTB=0x0;
delay(10000);
}
//
// Create a new file called MESSAGE.TXT
//
MyFile = FSfopenpgm("MESSAGE.TXT", "w+");
//
// Write message to the file
//
FSfwrite(txt, 1, 22, MyFile);
// Close the file
//
FSfclose(MyFile);
while(1);
}

When i run the code, the portb leds blink. which means the sd card does not initialize.

This is "C". Maybe you should check one of those Arduino forums or Microchip forums depending on which processor you are using.
