Steve, you are probably limited to 137Mb (128Mb formatted)
I am not having a go at you for writing M instead of G (megabyte as opposed to gigabyte), but what really gets my back up is that so many in the Mac community write Mb Gb and not MB GB.
A "b" is a bit, a single 1 or 0, whereas a "B" is a byte, which is eight bits.
Even Mac User UK insist on writing Mb. Plain ignorance.
I studied for 4 years at University among a bunch of PC users (we studied electronics, so it is understandable that no-one else used Macs), but I can really see why they have such a low-tech opinion of Mac users!!
