I accidentally formatted my 4GB or higher Hitachi Microdrive in my camera and now it is only being detected as 2GB. How do I get my drive back to the full capacity?
If for any reason your drive is no longer being seen at the correct capacity, you have two options: • If you are using a Windows 2000 or Windows XP system, you can contact the Technical Support Center to obtain a utility that will reformat the drive to the correct capacity. The utility must be run from within Windows XP or 2000 and only while the drive is connected via card reader or PC Card adapter. • 2. Connect your drive (via card reader) to a Windows 98 system and run Fdisk on the drive. You will need to delete the current partition and then recreate a partition using the entire capacity of the drive. After you created the new partition, you can then format the drive and begin using the drive again.
