You should open your player up and check the numbers printed on the flash chip to find what actual capacity it is supposed to be. If H2testW is telling you only 197MB is OK and the remainder (755MB?) is bad, and this is littered throughout the drive (as opposed to being concentrated in the front or back area), maybe your player is a genuine 1GB player but they sold you one with defective flash memory instead.
BTW - The MP3 Utilties disk tool encrypted partitioning trick never worked for me - I've alway had to use other disk partitioning tools instead. However, every fake MP4 player and USB player I've seen so far has just been reporting the wrong size so the format utility will allocate available space in the file system beyond the end of the actual device's capacity. This I have remedied by either adding an MBR and using hard disk partitioning techniques (which the MP4 player also understands), or using Linux's mkdosfs command with the drive size override option specified.
PS: I am uploading my 9.5.60 firmware tonight if it hasn't already been posted, but don't consider reflashing your device except as a last resort and when you are already confident of the device's true size.
