I just received a 4GB Transcend SD card (150x), for my new Dell Axim X51v handheld.

It is a regular SD card, not SDHC.

When I put the card into the Axim, only 981mb are recognized; NOT 4GB.

As far a I understand, the card is supposed to be compatible with the Dell Axim X51v - posters on this forum have confirmed this.

I also tried the card in the internal card reader of my computer - again only 981 mb is seen.
Same is true for the SD slot on my Canon printer.

I even downloaded (from the Transcend website) and tried the "Transcend Fix-Capacity Tool" - but when I tried to change the total space from 981mb to 4 GB (by clicking "FIX"), I get the following error:
"The selected capacity is error! Please check the selection is correct or the card reader is supported the capacity".

I tried this FIX-CAPACITY TOOL with the card in my computer SD card reader, and in my printer SD card reader - same error message.

The FIX CAPACITY TOOL does not see the DELL AXIM SD card slot (connected to my computer via USB) - so I can't try it with the card in the Dell Axim.

Is my Transcend 4GB SD card defective?
Why only 981 mb?
I expected the card would work out of the box im my Axim - as it does for other people.
Anyone know if this could be fixed? or do I need a new card?

Thanks.
