Hello I bought 2GB 60x SD card and it only shows 1GB (956.84 MB) on my Samsung SCH-i730 pda phone, hp photosmart camera and on my Mac. I,m running OSX 10.3.9 Is there anyway I can fix this? Also if i have to send it in roughly how long will it take? Thanks, Danny

Danny,

Do you have access to a Windows System? If so please try and format the flash drive with this syntax from a command prompt and see if it is seen properly.

Format (X:) /FS:FAT32 /U (X=the drive letter assigned to the Flash Voyager)

Please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace them or it.

If you still have problems, let’s get it replaced. Please use the RMA request found in TSXpress or follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it!

Ok, hi!

I've got a problem with my mini-sd card, it's 1gb and worked perfectly at first. Then it didn't! my device wich I used it for wouldn't read it anymore and my computer said it was not formated. Now, I did! However, it won't work with my device anymore since it's probably the wrong filesystem, can I type in the same lines in the comando-prompt and get it to work?

 

Ah, yes I have been trying to find out what the original filesystem was but I can't find that information anywhere, don't know if it's nececarry either btw but I don't think the card is broken so It would be dumb just changing it or something.

Yes you can try it?

Fat 32 = Format (X:) /FS:FAT32 /U

Fat 16 = Format (X:) /FS:FAT /U (X=the drive letter assigned to the Flash Voyager)

I believe I have the same problem with a CMFSD60-2GB SD card.

 

I have tried it on 2 different PCs and tried to format it either FAT or FAT-32 both from Windows Explorer and using the previous response using a MS-DOS command box and using the FORMAT /U command. Also, I have tried in an O2XDA Windows Mobile 5.0 device.

 

All can happily read the card but will only format it to a capacity of 1GB (actually says 9xx Mb but pretty close to 1GB) and not 2GB.

 

As I have followed the only recommended remedy without success can you ok the RMA process and do you generally find it better to do this direct with Corsair or via the reseller? It arrived today from Ebuyer. Their shipping normally takes about 5 days from order and so I can imagine that the return will probably take twice this time via them.

I got an CMFSDMINI-2GB that I got formated as 1GB when I puted into my SD-reader because it didn´t support 2GB (1024byte/sec).

 

My question is, How do I make it an 2GB again?

 

Mybe a good program for my Pocket PC would do it, but witch one?

 

Is there som kind of partition program for pocket pc maybe?

i've got the same issue as the users above: minisd card 2gb corsair, suddenly shown as corrupt in my nokia n73 phone. i tried to format in a pc card reader - in windows utility - 970mb shown only, not 2gb, and also card cannot be formatted.

I used that card for about 3 weeks. It seems the cards are defective. Tried to format it with : Format (X:) /FS:FAT32 /U command and also with the utility here http://www.sdcard.org/about/downloads/ , same problem. I will try the utility in another card reader.

edit: in another card reader - internal in an hp laptop nc6320 - same problem. card is defect.
