|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Problem with CF card William Guerro, Photographer Galloway | NJ | USA | Posted: 6:20 PM on 10.23.10 ->> I have a Lexar Pro 300x 16GB UDMA card, less than 1 year old, that when formatted only shows 1.99GB Available. Anybody ever had a problem like this or have any suggestions on how to fix this problem if it can be fixed.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Sounds like they are getting formatted, as Kevin said, FAT16 which supports only 2GB.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Some software will format to the same filesystem type as was previously installed. First thing on google, not sure how well it'll work: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I have a Macbook pro with windows installed. After booting up in Windows. I plugged in the problem (1) 16GB & (3) 4GB cards that I have. The 16GB showed a FAT32 already formatted. But I reformatted the card for FAT32, it showed the 14.8GB available on the card. When I put the card back into my D3s it still only showed the 2GB capacity. I reformatted it in the Camera and it was back to showing the full 16GB capacity. I had to do the same will all of my 4GB cards and they worked after doing so. Though when I put the 4GB cards into the computer they showed only FAT formatting, I had to change them to the FAT32.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?
