Hey guys hope you can help,
so i've been using a program called AOMEI backupper. I was checking out how it works so backed up one of my mem.sticks (512 mb) and then tried to restore it back to the same stick, but the program kept telling me "file to big" so I decided to restore it to a 8gb mem.stick! It worked, but now my 8gb is a 512mb mem.stick! Is there any way to change it back to a 8gb?????

Start -> Type "diskmgmt.msc" (no quotes.) and press Enter -> select the memory stick -> right click on any partitions in the memory stick and delete all partitions -> right click the memory stick and create a new partition that fills the drive. -> Right click on this new partition and select format. -> right click the new partition and make sure it is selected as active and has a drive letter assigned.
