I had to look up the 'Cd' error; it does show in an illustration on p34 of the manual (link here if yours did not come with one: http://cdn-10.nikon-cdn.com/pdf/manuals/dslr/D1H_en.pdf). That page says that 'Cd' means that there are 0 images remaining on the card. So, as @hapien said, it's like the camera thinks the card is too small. If you've freshly formatted the card, you should have space. I've had 2 D1h cameras, and had no trouble with 2gb card (SanDisk Extreme III).
You might try a factory reset on the camera (something I saw suggested in blogs). According to Nikon (https://www.nikonimgsupport.com/ni/NI_article?articleNo=000003758&configured=1&lang=en_US) the 'two-button' combination for the D1 series is Func + Thumbnail (the black-and-white-grid button).
I'm also with @glen_h in thinking a contact is not working. If a pin is not bent in the camera that works/worked (something to check in the other if it even turns on), then maybe they are dirty? (I'm assuming its not the card contacts since they work in other cameras.)
