Format the memory card and then report back.

Post a screenshot, of the available memory & used memory.

Process :
1). Go to my computer.
2). Right click on the Memory Card Drive
3). Post the same screenshot with Pie Chart.

I have done it many times, i have also used external software named SD formator, but didn't work. Also, on over-writing it is showing the full 490MB(approx.) but in real its is just 240MB... :cry:

Sorry to say this, but nothing you can do I suppose...
It's a fault of Memory card. If it's still under warranty you can claim it. Or just buy a new one, they are dead cheap now. A 2GB card cost just Rs 150 now. (Assuming you need just class 1 card).

Same thing happens with the el-cheapo fake pen drives selling on street sides in those so called electronic markets. A 32 GB pen drive turns into 3.2 GB! Magically!

Download HD Sentinel and do a Write Test.

I guess you have not tried formatting the drive using DOS.

Give a try.

use syntax format g: [in your case G-drive].

Lets see, how it reacts.
