Ok, so so I got a 16gb SDHC class 10 card for my Pi because it was all the store had & it was only $20 on sale. Anyway, I followed the guides and used win32 disk imager on it to add the mine peon img file. After that I went to the drive in My Computer and viewed it's properties and it's showing used space 0 bytes and 89.8mb free space... so WTF just happened ? I went back in to properties and hit format and nothing happened, still showing the DRASTICALLY reduced drive size.

Edit: This is what computer management shows in XP...

Remove the two partition and reformat it?
Right clic the 90mb, delete, right clic the other one, delete, then format it again and set it to use all the space

That's just it, I don't know how as sad as that sounds. I just would like to know why I ot this drastically reduced size. Not too sure on exactly how the image works and if the new size crap is somethin minepeons imaging does to be funny.

It created a partition 90mb big and let the rest unallocated, so of course it is seen as 90mb big only. You have to delete them and reformat it.

Ok, I think I got it but is this normal for an SD card thats advertised as 16b to only show around 14.8 in size ?
