I cannot comment on the WD software disabling this if it gives you what you are talking about. But if you search your favorite site you'll find links to the HP USB Disk Storage Format tool so you can wipe out the entire drive. If I check properties in Windows, it says my drive when blank now is 465GB (500,079,493,120 bytes). I figure that is about as close to 500GB you are going to get.

Mine didn't work either. As a last resort, I thought I'd just just use it as a standard 8gb storage card. No luck. Computer shows it has only 93kb of storage space - not 8gb. Tried reformatting - no change. Just a $35 piece of garbage. My suggestion - throw it in the trash where it belongs.

I can only provide a limited answer to the question. In my case it "adopted" the partitions I had even though I did not want the recovery partition since I do not feel I need it since I back up with a hard drive and and have mirror image on large thumb drives and 120 Gigs is not that much. My suggestion is you call the Kingston support technician. When I called there was no wait, and the technician spoke clear English, seem well-informed, was patient and courteous (a real "Eagle Scout" of phone IT technicians)

Your problem is the booklets. The capacity, as stated, is CDs ONLY. You'll wind up having less capacity because of that... relative to the various sizes of the booklets you put in; i.e. some thick, some thin.

Sorry, I have no idea. I bought it to increase capacity for maps and it did exactly that. I am not a techie.

Haven't used the 64 GB. I do have a 32 GB. Cant switch through music folders. It goes by skipping through the flash drive

Hi! I must say you did a great job!!! Thank you very very much! It was so frustrating to see unworking memory. People from Leapfrog did nothing to solve the problem. Thanks again for your kind help regarding SD recognition problem.Another problem is how to remove files. The synchronisation doesn't works. Did you try it?I would appreciate very match your help.Cheers

Mine is not working properly. when I save files over 128GB. The files disappear and I have only empty folders even though the drive shows that the space is being used. It is a waste of money.

Me too! I'm not going to seriously consider purchasing anything computer related unless I see the manual that goes with it. Is it (i.e., Canvio) truly plug and play? Can you selectively choose individual files to back up? I'm not at all interested in wasting time and space backing up files that I really don't wish to back up. (I only wish to back up photographs.) Filtering through all the comments, while helpful writ large, takes a lot of time when looking for particular information. A manual please.

I have no idea what Win 8.1 says about this SD card, but I can tell you Win 7 reads it as a 8GB card. Of course, all SD cards have a portion reserved for the bits that make it possible for the card to communicate with the computer and vice versa, so the card will not show the full 8GB as free for use. Possibly 8.1 is reading it as 7.1 GB, and someone mistakenly saw that as 71 MB. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the vast differences.

Not sure here. My belief is that the software that comes with it is the shareware version - but I thought the limit was 500 llines? Best regards, John

There seem to be several different configurations out there. Mine has 2 GB of data storage. Other respondents have other memory sizes. My guess is that the .5 GB is max data storage... but that is a guess. Mine also has an SD slot, but that's not mentioned in the specs here. Sorry not to be more precise.

I just returned a Duo. I would advise anyone to avoid this product. I spent TWO hours on the phone with tech support. Hardware saw no problems. Software concluded that Windows 7 needs 3gb memory and I needed to add memory. They also wanted me to buy a software support contract so they could restore the device to factory settings. I went back to the returns dept and was offered a $50 discount if I kept the device. I asked instead for them to send the memory upgrade I needed. The response --- it is not upgradeable. I actually had to eat a $67 restock fee to get rid of this paperweight. btw I had the audio doc package. It has an internet port and card reader- the duo itself just has usb. I just returned a Duo.

Not sure what you are referring to when you ask about the "same issues"? Trying to read between the lines of what you are asking, I can tell you that I regularly use my 16GB SanDisk Extreme on Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8 computers. I've never had any problems safely removing it from any of them. Keep in mind that if an application on your computer--Windows Explorer, a browser, etc.--is still accessing the drive, Windows will tell you it can't be removed safely. I've noticed that Chrome, for example, will "hold" onto a thumb drive after a file download to it longer than I've seen with other browsers. But those cases are Windows or application issues and nothing specific to any particular USB drive. Not sure what you are referring to when you ask about the "same issues"?

Do be honest I am not sure, but I downloaded a TON of stuff and simply moved to an SD card. I had no problems with space at all.

memory full is becoz the memory card's storage are taken up by those locked files. there is "unlock all " or "format" from the device, will release those spaces to record again. to have the sd card set to always loop recording mode, then you need to turn the g sensor off, parking mode off. Or adjust the sensitivity of g sensor and parking mode accordingly. thanks Marie
