Try deleting all existing partitions and creating a new one.
That's what I was hoping. I know it said it had 2GB free when I first put it in the 770. Then I formatted it in the 770 and I don't remember if I re-checked the capacity. The 770 formatter offered no choices. When I got up to about 900 megs, started noticing the system monitor plugin's mmc bar was almost full. Now, windows only recognizes 979megs available to format. The disk manager in WinXP was no help. It wouldn't let me delete the partition and it appeared to show only 1GB for total capacity.

I don't have a linux box anymore. I booted a mandriva live CD in my wife's laptop last night. It's a new Dell XPS with a built in card reader (ricoh something). I looked for a while and couldn't find a reference in dmesg or the /dev files of the card in the card slot so I don't know what /dev to mount or format. I'm not able to stay up late fiddling with linux like I used to. I gave up around midnight.
