oops.. my mistake. Didnt notice. Then I guess he'll have to find a nother MSPD compatible phone to do it..... But I doubt it will work, cos if his one doesn’t turn on then most probably others won’t either.
I did this and was able to revert it back through the phone.. So far that is the only way I know of doing it.
If you haven’t tried already then try with a memory card reader.

ok
my memcard reader doesn't recognize the card (it wasn't able before either)
i've handed it over to some guy to format it and now it should be 933 when i get it back...
if he isn't able to format it, a sandisk cardreder should do the trick:
Sandisk ImageMate 12-in-1 USB 2.0 Hi-speed Reader ( SDDR-89-A15 )
this is what i think of purchasing
it works right?
now i understand that it won't work above 500 and if data on card doesn't exceed 500(or 468) i shoul be able to format it via the phone and revert everything back to normal...
correct me if i' wrong...?

Let me get this straight.... You still haven’t formatted it to a 1GB ?? If so then don’t do it, not worth the risk and hassle. BTW I don’t recommend using 3 rd party drive management tools on your memory card (especially when it is accessed through the phone).
Well..., I was able to revert it back to a 512 through the phone, but I have seen one or two guys who were not so lucky.
You said your card reader didn’t detect it, was it before or after you wiped the card with swissknife? And I really don’t think buying a Sandisk card reader would do much good unless your current reader is faulty, cos these memory sticks are standard, so any card reader supporting MSPD should be able to read it, you don’t have to buy a Sandisk branded reader.

the card reader wasn't able to detect it neither before nor after partition erasing
that guy repartitioned it in fat32 but put some files on it and since the internal directory structure was affected by swissknife(never use that crp!) this may be the reason why the phone still behaves the same way...
{PERHAPS SOME OF THIS IS WHAT WE PROBABLY SAW AS THOSE 400MB...
boot sector
optionally more reserved sectors
FAT #1 (File Allocation Table)
FAT #2 (a duplicate of FAT #1)
the root directory (not used in FAT32)
the "data area" with all files and subdirectories}
i hope to reformat again, clean this time(that guy put some files on it to test it....)and luckyli make it work with a phone format...
if not i'll just blame the shop where i got it from and ask for a new one
they surely aren't smart or quallified enough to tell what's wrong:)

Maybe that extra space can be something like you said (but I seriously doubt that FAT or the boot sector can take that much of space as they are normally much smaller); most probably a glitch in K750’s firmware which is now fixed in the latest version according to some of the previous posts.
Anyways lets hope your guy will be able to make it work. If not get it replaced from the shop

I managed to expand the 512 duo pro, but it wouldn't work in my brothers k750 or my P910 so I just put it back.
Shame.

DONE!
a k750i with an older firmware(dunno wich) recognized it!after the format amd mamaged to reformat it internally!
though it did not see mora than 468mb
after the format my w800i sees it too...
everything back to normal!
I STRONGLY ADVISE EVERYONE NOT TO TRY THIS ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T HAVE WARRANTY ON PHONE AND CARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just read through the thread and its nice to see all this trial and error efforts. Seems though that the capacity is misleading. Updated first post with a warning.
