I had purchased SD 2GB from Kingston and was using it in my new Kodak. But now I want to use it in the wife car stereo excepts SD up to 2GB so now she would have 400 mp3 or almost double that for wma songs to play. I go to transfer the songs to the SD 2GB and Bam! It stops at 400MB and still there is 1.51GB to go! Max size is 1.91GB
I've tried everything I could think of to see what's causing the problem. In the digital camera it read 1,770 photos could be taken using 8.3MP. So something was wrong then. The FAT is FAT16. So I had used XP to format it to FAT16 again and see if that would solve the problem.
Nope!
Now what? I decided to go to the SD site and download the SDFormatter that has a wipe out feature, it takes time to run but when it's done you can say that SD is 100% clean. The program can also remove any Flash into too. But you need a drive that supports that feature. It also can format to the correct size.
Now I had thought doing this would solve the problem, but I was able to get some more file son but not all.. So I decided to re-format the SD using FAT32 and sure enough everything transfered over like it should.
