I have not been able to find the right key words to Google my problem.  I 
know there are a lot of very computer savvey people on the LUG so I thought 
I'd ask here.  A friend called me yesterday and said his Kingston Data 
Traveler 256MB memory stick is only showing up at 24MB.  Somehow he lost 
about 90% of his capacity.  I had him check to see that there were no other 
partitions that showed up when he plugged it in and he said no.   I 
suggested he copy his files to the hard drive and reformat.  Not sure if 
this is possible for a memory stick, so I told him I'd try to find out. 
Checked Kingston's web site fAQ's and haven't found out much.  Does anyone 
on the LUG know how to regain that capacity? OS is Windows XP.
