INCREASE THE SIZE OF YOUR MEMORY CARD

Want to increase the size of ur memory card ie CONVERT A 512 MB duo/produo/MMC CARD TO 640 MB

Basic Principle–Files in duo/produo/MMC is stored in multiple (disk) blocks.
So if you format using 16K block, the space used will be 16K eventhough your file is just 1K.
If you buy DUO/PRO-DUO, it is usually preformatted with 16K block. Therefore a lot of space is wasted as most installed program files are usually less than 2K.


Connect your memory card to the computer.(via card reader, usb or bluetooth)

1. Copy all your files in the memory card including hidden and operating system files to your computer

2.Open command prompt & format your memory card using command line “format” and use the /A=size option.

Or you can do the following:
1. Goto Start->control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer management->Disk management
2. Select your memory card/usb drive. Right-click and select “Format”
3. Select “FAT”. Choose Allocation size. For 256Mb MMC select 4K, 128Mb MMC select 2K, 64Mb MMC select 1K and 32Mb MMC select 512B


3. Copy back all files to memory card.
