I have a 2Gb IPOD nano clone which developed a problem so I had to reformat the memory. It definitely had 2GB to start out with, I had it full of mp3's and videos and photo's and everything was working fine untill one track wouldn't play and the player started to hang and restart.
I formated the drive after this which solved the restarting and hanging problem, but i've now been left with only half the capacity.
I thought i'd been ripped off by the seller at first, but I knew there was definitely 2 GB there to start with. I opened it up and looked at the chip (there is only one chip and not 2 piggy backing together) and it says 8G on it which reading other posts should be 2GB.
Whatever I do, I can't get back my original capacity. I've formatted in windows and using the disk tool downloaded from this site, using both quick and full formats etc.
Is there anybody that has found a way to get back there capacity to what it was to start with?
Formatting does seem to solve a lot of peoples problems but it also causes a whole lot more. I've now been left with a expensive 1GB player that fills up so quickly that it really gets me down
It should be a cheap 2GB player.
My advice would be not to format the player untill you have exhaused all other possibilities and then if you do wait for a big shock!
Can anybody else help me out?
