4gb Really a 4gb? How can I Check?

[Spawn_20240]

Hey.

I Purchased a Nano CLone 4gb. I formatted it with windows normal format option and it still reads 4.gb (3.98gb).

I tried to do Disk Tool format but im getting an error: Not Supporting this type disk!

Disk Tool: Also its says :

Capacity: 4092.02MB

Total Secters: 8380449

-----------------------------

partition and encrypt 1951mb 0.o


what else should i do to make sure its 4.gb

Spawn_20240, The only way to know for sure is to open the player and check the memory chip serial number and brand and a Google search will generally bring you up a data sheet on the chip.

Hey people.

I added 2.21GB of programs/games/mp3s.....

Does this proves its a 4gb??? I think it does without opening it.

Space left 1.76GB

--------------------------
I click on system inside the menu on the clone... and said 55% used.


--------
I bought it from ebay =], I still have the sellers name if any1 is interested

Hey Spawn, Just by loading it up and looking at the menu on the player for space left or on the computer for amount of space left doesnt mean anything. Have you loaded it up and ACCESSED all the files? Have you opened up and seen inside how much space there is. 4GB players are not seen as yet, not any real ones atleast. Once you look at the chip and see what the situation is then you might want to use the ebay sellers name to file complaints and not give it out for referrals.

OK???

I already Loaded Over 2gb. So what its gonna be a 3gb fake???

It seems its a 4gb? Theres no reason to open it if It plays all my music and it holds my programs without error. :idea:


Its 4gb Dont get jealous ops:


( My experience on opening things: (xbox controllers I broke all that i opened) I dont plan on opening this nano clone -.-

What version of the MP3 Player Utilities have you got installed on your computer?

You might want to try installing ver 3.68 instead and see if you can format it.

You can also try the: Format Utility for USB Devices from here to try to format your player.

bsaylors is right. Unfortunately filling it up doesn't tell you much until you try to play them all. The hacks are good enough now to make it look like it's copied across but in actual fact, if you try to play them all, you might get errors....

Hey Spawn, I dont think you understand. Im not jealous - I have 3 mp4 players. The idea is that although you can load upto 4 GB on it, have you tried playing all the information stored on it? Because thats when you can run into the errors. There are people who have 8GB players and they have loaded it up to 8GB but when they try and access information past a certain point they run into errors, So thats what i was saying. Also, you said "I already Loaded Over 2gb. So what its gonna be a 3gb fake???" <- thats what im talking about - loading up info is different, you should try accessing the info by playing all the songs or by playing the videos or pictures and then see.

I played Files i added no errors...

Maybe the ebay seller with 20,000+ feedback cares about his rep. so he doesnt sell fakes? Tho he has 95.5% ( sells psp and camera memory )



I'm just gonna windows format and belive its just a 4gb. :lol:

See how you get on at a later stage. Once you fill it up to 4GB's and start playing, if u get errors, just don't be too surprise that's all. I have yet to find a TRUE 4GB player that can play everything without errors and isn't hacked.

Who knows, maybe you have finally found the holy grail?


How much did you get it for?
