w9999 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 by the way which window theme do you have.?name and link please if you can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peet Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The reason it was showing as 1.9GB was because you formatted it using the FAT file system - which only supports 2GB. Next time format it as FAT32 and it'll give you the full 8GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time format it as FAT32 and it'll give you the full 8GB.really? cuz I ever format my 4GB with FAT file system.and it seems fine with full capacity (well the actual size about 3.74 GB). maybe you can sharing to me about that and I can learn something from you. thanks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
