I have a Micro SD card that my computer sees as a 1TB chip instead of the 8gb it is, any help would be very gladly taken.
My computer says it needs to be formatted even though it worked before, and now the format program sees it as a 1TB?

I went to Scan disk.com for some help and that's what the techs said and then said they would replace it free. I'm sending them this one and they're sending me one back. Any how they had me try HP USB Storage Format tools. to reformat with but it didn't even see it. Anyhow thanks for the come back.

I had a USB which did that once, im not sure what happened but it acted like a normal USB except that if I tried to copy a huge file onto it there would be no warnings, the copy would simply fail when the drive was full
