ok guys... its working!
512 -> 1024!

and you dont even need any programs, its working with the Disk Manager from WinXP (I dont have Win2000 so I could not test it).

First of all, I am not responseble for any loss of data or any damage of your Hardware. But I can tell you that there is no need to be afraid that the hardware will be damaged. You can, if you have problems, put the memorystick in phone and format it in the phone and everything is ok again...

- Save your stuff from the memorystick.
- Put the stick in the phone (only tested with K750i)
- stick the phone to the cable
- start Disk Manager, you will see the formated and the unallocated space
- mark the Drive icon (of the phone) in the above table, where your partitons are indicated
- If marked, a X type icon appears under the "FILE | ACTION...etc" menu, the X type Icon is for deleting...
- press it and it will delete your partiton for the memorystick, then you have 1 big partiton which is unallocated
- now just make a new partion, and format it using FAT or FAT16
- thats it... now you turned your 512 mb stick into a 1024 stick

I tested it right after doing it and I was able to put more than 600 mb on it, but it had some problems, the phone went of everytime I turned the cam on. But thats actually it. I think its because I stored a Image file which was bigger than 500 MB... its working now perfect, I deleted the 500 mb big image file...
if more problems occur I will let you know..

I haven't tested it yet, but a few people on that thread do say that it's working with this method.

**FullMetalKid** · 10-19-2005, 11:07 AM

I would read it but i'm working and browsing on the web is prohibited.

**CTN1983** · 10-19-2005, 11:11 AM

Damn...I just sold my 512mb on ebay, and purchased a 1gb card.

But nice find.

**Junglizt1210** · 10-19-2005, 11:12 AM

there still seems to be some bugs - im not wasting my card unless someone can do it for real without a single bug.

**superfire** · 10-19-2005, 11:19 AM

memory card is cheap... anyway... i am not going to risk it at this moment.

**Ares** · 10-19-2005, 11:22 AM

no bugs whatsoever...

if you get afraid about it, just put it in the phone and format it there, it will return to original

but imho this is a must for sandisk owners
