Dear Bernard, the mem stick is actually empty and with showing hidden files can't see anything on it. A clean format is no problem. Will try and let you know.

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.
