Lexar SD card problem

[sirgimpofbaath]

I just bought a Zodiac 1 on eBay. It came with a Sandisk WiFi card and a Lexar 64 MB card. However, the Zodiac (and also a Kodak card reader for the PC) only sees the Lexar card as 30.4 (rounded down from 32?) MB. I've formatted it twice, and looked all over the web for the same problem... no luck. Does anyone know what's going on?

A couple of things come to mind. 1) the card was modified (ie: Someone pulled a switcharoo on the sticker, only giving you a 32mb card with a 64mb sticker). 2) The card is faulty, to over 50% of it's volume. This happens due to Flash Memory corruption, ... unfortunately, if you use a flash drive and fail to TURN IT OFF prior to taking the card out, you run this risk. Short end, you'll want to get a new card. Since you're running a Zod1, why not just go out and purchase a new 512mb SanDisk card? They're cheap enough now at about 50 to 60 $USD.

Either way, I wish you the best of luck.

Ah. Okay, thanks for the help.

If it helps, I picked up a PNY 1GB SD card for about $80 off of eBay. One of the best items I've gotten for my Zodiac so far.
