Hi Jacques, Looks like your mem stick has some fancy partitioning. It's the last device, /dev/sdd, and it appears to have 4 partitions! Does it have some 'onboard' software like encryption, vault, etc - SanDisk stuff?
Are you able to backup the data and give it a clean format? This might give you the whole 2GB in a 'linear' way.
