32MB SD card detected as 2GB
« on: December 29, 2003, 04:41:17 pm »
My SD card is detected as being 2GB when it\'s only 32MB. When I try to format it in XP, it says \"Cannot open drive for direct access.\" When I try to format it with the Zaurus, it says \"Device reported to be zero.\" The same thing happened to my 128MB CF once. I fixed it with Paragon Disk Wiper by wiping the CF clean and then reformatting it but that doesn\'t work with my SD card for some reason. How do I fix it so that it\'s recognized as 32MB?

try using the diskmanagement tool in XP. I had the same problem /dev/mmcda1 was reporting 0 when I tried to format but if i tried cat /dev/mmcda it dumped the contents of the disk to screen. There was something wrong with the partition table or something I tried fdisk on the zaurus (oz) got a bus error but was able to make a partition and format fat in windows 2000 disk management tool with a usb sd card reader.
