Hey lads, need a little advice. My 8GB M2 that I use in my SE C902 has gone on and reduced itself to 3.51GB:mad: For a while when I put the card directly into the PC its asked to format, so I've been editing it via the phone in mass storage mode. That was fine untlil the "FastPort" decided not to work with USB anymore.…

Hey lads, need a little advice.

My 8GB M2 that I use in my SE C902 has gone on and reduced itself to 3.51GB:mad: For a while when I put the card directly into the PC its asked to format, so I've been editing it via the phone in mass storage mode. That was fine untlil the "FastPort" decided not to work with USB anymore. Last night I got the stuff I needed off it via bluetooth onto an NC10, lucky they both A2DP or whatever the standard is, at 20kbps it would have taken a year. Then I went to work fiddling in Disk Management to try and see if I could see the free space. I couldnt.

The weird thing is the whole time the phone could see all 8GB while Vista saw it as 3.51GB of RAW unpartitioned space.

Anyways, does this mean a section of the card has died(its authentic SanDisk) or are there any recovery tools/methods(preferably free) that I can try? I use this on a daily basis, so its really bugging me not having it.
