Cheers mate, same problem. I had a whopping 8gb of my 16gb being unusable for the past 2 years till I found your solution. Can’t thank you enough.

Just updated my Canon 30D to the new firmware 1.0.6 and it worked like a charm. I formatted my 16GB card to a full 16GB in my camera. Thanks Canon! This was the first time I really needed a firmware update.

Had this problem with my Rebel XT. My 16GB card was already formatted as 16GB when it arrived. But after using it for a while I formatted it on the Rebel XT (firmware 1.0.3). I realized it had an issue because it formatted it to 8GB even though it showed 15.0GB as the size of the card.Then the PC shows it as 2 separate 8GB partitions and wouldn’t format it to 16GB – but that tool worked great. Thank you so much.

Thanks for the info, great timing – that tool worked great for me. I had no idea windows refuses to handle multi-partition removable drives.
