Axim X30 limit me to install up to 400 meg when using a 2gb kingston SD

I put a 2gb kingston Sd to my Axim x30. I don't know if it was formated my the manufacturer but I only could use up to 400 meg of space when installing software.

Do you think if formatted I could use more space or even better(dreaming),90% of the 2gb?
Have any one been successfully partition the 2gb to two distincg 1gb space area,recognizable and highly functional with Axim x30?

SD cards should come ready to work last I knew. This is a shot in the dark, but did you buy the Kingston card from a retail (or reputable) place? A knockoff is one of the few things I can think of, other than the card just being bad.

I've had no problems with all of my Kingston cards so far, but I don't think any of them are 2GB. I do have a PQI 2GB micro-SD + SD adapter in my x30, and it's been working fine so far. Right now I have 677.6 MB used out of 1919.63MB on it.

Everything works now after formatting fat32,it was fat16.I can go beyond now and I don't see now boundary yet.

I mentioned this in another thread before reading this one but will mention it again anyways since here you confirmed something I'd just thought of. :)

FAT16 was your problem, you ran out of root directory entries which got mistaken as a space problem. More info on that is available here and this could affect any drive using FAT16:

Good to know that the card is working fine now. You had me worried and shaken about Kingston's good quality reputation (that I've experienced at least).
