On a Sandisk memory stick there is actually double the capacity specified, the other half being unpartitioned space.

To see this space you need a Sony Ericsson K750i mobile phone plugged into your PC.

1. Plug your phone into the computer (with your Sandisk DUO in the phone)

2. Right click My Computer.

3. Left click Manage.

4. Click on disk management.

5. Rub your eyes.

Here are some other people who have done it:

512 -> 1024!

and you dont even need any programs, its working with the Disk Manager from WinXP (I dont have Win2000 so I could not test it).

First of all, I am not responseble for any loss of data or any damage of your Hardware. But I can tell you that there is no need to be afraid that the hardware will be damaged. You can, if you have problems, put the memorystick in phone and format it in the phone and everything is ok again...

- Save your stuff from the memorystick.
- Put the stick in the phone (only tested with K750i)
- stick the phone to the cable
- start Disk Manager, you will see the formated and the unallocated space
- mark the Drive icon (of the phone) in the above table, where your partitons are indicated
- If marked, a X type icon appears under the "FILE | ACTION...etc" menu, the X type Icon is for deleting...
- press it and it will delete your partiton for the memorystick, then you have 1 big partiton which is unallocated
- now just make a new partion, and format it using FAT or FAT16
- thats it... now you turned your 512 mb stick into a 1024 stick

I tested it right after doing it and I was able to put more than 600 mb on it, but it had some problems, the phone went of everytime I turned the cam on. But thats actually it. I think its because I stored a Image file which was bigger than 500 MB... its working now perfect, I deleted the 500 mb big image file...
if more problems occur I will let you know...

From my understanding my reading the thread it only works in that phone due to the firmware, someone said that they had tried it on a psp and it makes them reformat the card with the psp before reading it, taking it back to the original size.

It may just be me, but this hack doesn't seem very useful. Unless you allready have the phone, it would be easier to just go get a bigger memory card.

You don't need to buy the phone, just use a friends one.

If you don't have any friends, take someone who has one to your nearest PC and slip them a 20.

Or you could just keep your memory stick at half it's capability, never try anything new, and critsize everything before even giving it a chance and let the world pass you by as usual.

i want to try but no one has that phone around here.
trying to figure out by puting in psp and check the partition(same 1gb) and tried puting into different card adapter.
Hope some one figure out soon.

btw memory duo price is dropping fast. got 1gb for $45 yesterday at staples(pricematch, coupon)

"From my understanding my reading the thread it only works in that phone due to the firmware, someone said that they had tried it on a psp and it makes them reformat the card with the psp before reading it, taking it back to the original size. "

i think that guy forgot to copy paste psp root folder. If you put memory stick that formated from phone, psp ask you to format for psp(psp creates psp root folder)

that's a good thought, how did you get a gig card for under 50 bucks, where did you get the coupon for price match?
