Sandisk Ultra II 2gig - Only half the space indicated!

[GreenWings]

Hi all,

I have a 2gig Ultra II for use in my x50v that I use for movies, pics etc when travelling. Both the Axim and XP recognize it as a 2gig card, however both insist that there is ever only 1gig free. I have tried formatting in XP as FAT and FAT 32 and it doesnt seem to make a difference, its always only got 1gig free. There are no files on there, hidden or otherwise, and I dont think it has any additional volumes - it has no reason to, as its practically fresh out of the box (I have had a couple movies on it for about a month).

I have tried searching the forums here for answers, but to no avail. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

GW.

Perhaps you need to be more specific?

How does the Axim and XP both recognize it as 2GB? What program is reporting this capacity?

Have you tried a program like Flash Format for PocketPC to see if formatting it on the Axim will help?
