| 1353700 | 2013-09-17 22:22:00 | I used winhex on a SD card to update the firmware on a android tablet. Question now is how to reclaim the space on the SD card. Winhex is hogging 3GB & I can't work out how to remove it. |

| 1353701 | 2013-09-17 22:30:00 | Tried formatting it? either in the tablet or a card reader. I've had problems with flash drives and linux distro's, the custom formatting confuses windows but if I can convince it to reformat it usually sorts it out. this might be similar. |

| 1353702 | 2013-09-17 22:44:00 | Initially I went into the winhex program & tried to remove or format it from there. Then tried a straight format, but 3GB appears to be locked in a separate partition. Went to disc management but that wouldn't help either. |

| 1353703 | 2013-09-17 23:26:00 | Odd, it should show up in Disk Management, and allow it to be repartitioned from there. Take a screenshot for us? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1353704 | 2013-09-18 00:04:00 | Try the official SD card formatting utility: www.sdcard.org | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1353705 | 2013-09-18 00:40:00 | It did show up in Disk Management but wouldn't allow me to remove the partition. Have got it sorted now. Tried Easeus Partition Manager. It allowed me to remove the partition & format the whole drive. |
