6gb Sandisk mini SD=2gb?

Alright so heres the run down, ive got a Sandisk mini SD HD, high capacity that is, card thats 6 gigs big. Now its always worked fine, but when i plug it into my laptop that runs vista, its saying that the card is only 2 gigs big, and literally wont let me put more stuff on it. i checked the specs on it again by putting it in my samsung a737 phone as well and sure enough it says its also a 2 gig. i know for a fact its a 6 gig but its only showing 2, any idea what the hells going on?

Do you already have 4GB stored on the card? A stupid question i know, but it could happen. Otherwise i dont know what to tell you, it could be a 2GB.

Reply:There are some issues with Vista and it's driver incompatibility. It could be that the driver running that card reader is windows vista generic and does not support HD cards. You might try going to the card manufacturer's website and downloading their drivers if they are compatible with Windows Vista.
Reply:First - Ive never heard of a 6GB of any type of memory cards or flash. They usually come in powers of 2 like


2^10=1G


2^11=2G


2^12=4G


2^13=8G





So the space in the cards double.





If you think that there is 6G on the card, and there may, i havent seen the package, heres a way that might free the rest up.


1) plug in your PC


2) onpen my computer


3)right click and select Format


Formatting the Card will erase all data from the card, Save your files before you to this.
