I just purchased a 16GB Duracell SD Card for my video camera. The camera showed "card error", so i took the card to my PC to format it.

Windows 7 shows it as a 1GB Unformatted partition. With an elevated command prompt I ran diskpart, selected the disk and entered Detail Disk. It shows Fs as "RAW", Status as "Healthy" and Size as "1024 MB".

Is this a forged card, or is windows Diskpart not able to read larger partition SD Cards?

Thanks USAFret. I tried using DISKPART "clean" and it returned an I/O error. Just took it back to the store. Net result...brand new card was defective. Replacement works just fine!
