I purchased a 256MB bytester flashdrive. It is showing only 1.3MB available when plugged into my iBook. How can I make it show its full capacity? I plugged into the pc in work but didn't put any files on it. It showed 240 odd MBs on that PC.
Thanks in advance,

Tried that, even tried to format as Mac OS Extended using Disc Utility, but it still stays as MS DOS. Am i doing it wrong? Thanks

No ideas When i plug into the PC in work it shows a "Floppy Drive B" and "Removable Disc G" but this has no capacity. If I click on it it says insert disc. I'm lost here.Is the Drive faulty? It is still formatted as MS DOS.
Any help appreciated?
