Get an SD usb reader for your pc, destroy the partition in windows system manager. (Rightclick on 'My Computer' and choose Manage.) Go to the disk manager, and destroy the 1GB partition, and recreate your 2GB, -OR- make another 1GB partition along side it. The camera should ignore one or the other, and just use one of them, so you can have your phone use the other and be able to read the camera's data.

Have fun.

use resco file explorer on your ppc. the camera foramtted it to 1gb because that will be the maximum size sd it can handle!

just install resco, tap and hold on the storage card then hit format!!

2gb sd card is back!

Have you already tried low level format?
I recommend utility called "Pocket Mechanic", but for sure there are more programs that you can use for that.

Where did you get your 2gb minisd from?

Still not sure if I wanna trust the ones from ebay. Should I wait until Sandisk releases their 2gb minisd version?
