SD Card Isn't Initializing

Other Hardware Storage
1

I've devised a basic setup running an SD card shield to retrieve a number stored in a textfile on the SD card. However, the card fails to initialize no matter what transpires, and the number is never retrieved.

The code is as follows:-

#include<SD.h>

const int CS_pin=10;
const int power_pin=8;
float id=0.0;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("Commencing setup!");
  pinMode(CS_pin,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(power_pin,OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(power_pin,HIGH);
  if(!SD.begin(CS_pin))
  {
    Serial.println("Failed to initialize.");
    return;
  }
  else
  {
    Serial.println("Initialization successful!");
  }
  File textfile=SD.open("id.txt");
  if(textfile)
  {
    float decade=pow(10,(textfile.available()-1));
    while(textfile.available()>0)
    {
      float temp=(textfile.read()-'0');
      id=id+temp*decade;
      decade=decade/10;
    }
    Serial.print("ID procured. ID is: ");
    Serial.println(id);
  }
  else
  {
    Serial.println("Failed to read ID value.");
    return;
  }
}
void loop()
{
}

The code returns a false value at the !SD.begin() point, and the card fails to initialize.

Why is it not initializing? Are there any errors in my code?

Never mind, I solved it.
