SanDisk CF card 256 mb question

Hi! I just bought a SanDisk CF card 256 mb. Why is it that when i checked my memory, it only registered 244mb as free space? By the way, i reformatted the CF card already using Flash Format and it registered again 244mb as free space. Thanks! Please reply ASAP so that i can return the CF card immediately in case this is a defect. Thanks again!

alex :)

It's no defect. Sandisk 256 MB cards only have 244 MB open to the user. I don't know exaclty why it works that way, but that is how it is.

Thanks for the prompt reply! By the way, is this specific to SanDisk CF cards only?

It's like that with all memory cards. It's a matter of mathematics.
