Well I bought a 1 GB MP3/MP4 player off ebay and it has 1GB of flash memory in it. As I loaded the player with music and videos I noticed that after a certain amount of data was loaded, the files that were added last after about 200 MB would not read right or the data would get corrupted. I search this forum and found that someone also had a similar problem with their SD memory card ( http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread....highlight=size ) <===exactly the same problem I was having. After formatting it many times with different settings and it still doing the same thing I got the bright idea to try to partition the memory (didn't know if it could be done) to see what would happen. I resized the current partition to 105 MB with paragon partition manager (yes it partitioned the flash drive) and when I pressed Apply, it did its thing and then froze. I reopened the program and saw that it did resize the primary flash partition and the rest said "Unallocated space". Well windows would not let me format this space for some reason and wanted to see if linux could. So I fired up my linux machine, at first fdisk saw the 105 partition and the unallocated space, so then I made fdisk delete all partitions. I formatted with FAT and then went back to Windows to see if I could do a complete format again but all it saw was a 105MB drive. I opened the partition manager again, and it only showed the 105 MB with no unallocated space this time. So now I'm confused. Where did the rest of that 1GB go? Its not showing up anymore in Linux or Windows and just shows it as a 105MB drive no matter what I do. I knew I shouldn't have tried that. Did I mess up this memory for good? or is there a program I can download to get windows to see the rest of that 1 GB? Any ideas?

did you try

Right click My Computer -> Manage -> Disk Management

Much easier to use witin Windows to modify partitions

did you read the info on ebay about all the fake sized Flash Drive's, MP3 players etc listed on ebay and what to look out for??
hope i am wrong but sounds as if you may have purchased one

Hello,
Recently I bought a 8GB TwinMOS Mobile Disk Z4 K24 USB drive. It has driver cd. As i wanted to make this usb drive bootable, so i ran the program iFormat v419 and with boot checkbox marked i formated the drive.

I am very upset, please tell me did you find any sloution for this kind of problem? I saw you had similar problem. Please could you help me NFF!
