Sorry for top-posting (darn pocket outlook). Perhaps widnows does some test-reads to check the size?

I'll do that today. I did zero out the partition table (and then some :-)) using dd: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd bs=1024 count=1000 To verify, I fired up fdisk, and got this message: "Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable. Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)" Ok, great, definitely no partition table, anymore! After closing fdisk without doing anything, I popped the card into my Windows XP machine. It instantly appears in the Disk Management applet as a healthy 1.92GB unformatted device.
