That is strange; do you see your memory as a removable disk in the explorer? Cos if you can; then it should appear as a separate disk in Disk Management under Computer Management of WinXP/2k.
Anyways in my opinion this is just a glitch, you cant use a 512MB card as a 1Gig, I’ve already tried and failed (read my post above).

It only shows as Memory Stick in the PC Suite software under My P910.
Doesnt show anywhere else as a drive.

You have to use a K750 phone to do this, meaning that you have to plug in the memory card to a K750 phone and connect it to a PC with the USB data cable.
K750 (and perhaps later models) are the only ones that let you access memory card in the phone as a USB mass storage device under Windows without using any custom phone applications. As far as I know you have to have some sort of a phone management software installed on your PC to access the memory of P910.

WARNING: once you have done this on a k750 or a w800i and you put that memory card into a w900i it wipes the memorycard completly clean. it erases everything... dammit....

Latest R1AA008 firmware for the K750 fixes this glitch. 512 MB sticks are really 512 MB sticks and not concealed 1 GB sticks.

well, after I sold you the monorail... I'll be off to Shelbyville... just kidding!
fantonald is right, with the new firmware the "bug" or "glitch" is gone. But it's still strange because, the MMCard didnt change, just the phone has another software which does not show it so the "unallocated space" still remains unrevealed...

maybe it's some sort of buffer for the file reading or moving etc.
or
it could be something to do with the manufacturing process.
like with lcd tft monitors you can expect dead pixels due to the manufacturing process and this is normal.
maybe memory cards are the same, they make them bigger because in the manufacturing process there is a danger of some being damaged.
then they just lock the size off by partitioning it to 512MB or whatever.
just a theory...

Didn’t you read the posts above ? This is a glitch, you cant make your 512MB card a 1G by formatting.
Anyways, to recover your card format it through the phone, everything should come back to the way it was before.
