I've had the same problem. It was because my hard drive was formatted with
FAT16. 2GB is as big as FAT16 can go. You need to use something like
fdisk (comes with Windows) to repartition the drive, making the primary dos
partition as big as it can be. This should turn out to be the true size of
your drive. Then after you reformat it, it should be formatted with FAT32.
Hope that helps.
