Thanks HEAPS, Sharebear!
H2testw has been running for 18 hours now and is not quite finished yet... however it is reporting 3.6 GBytes of data OK - does that mean I can format it as a 4GB drive (when the test finished, of course)... or do I have to use the instructions for 2GB, since less than 4GB is ok, and you don't mention a 3GB drive?
(Tip for anyone else running the test on a laptop - plug in the power supply and disable hibernating/automatic shut down before starting, otherwise you will have to start again!!! You were right about the h2testw taking much much longer than the alternative method, but I have two small boys, so the computer has more free time than I do lol)
