Well i know that there are USB's available in large capacity..... and i can find them in the market.... what i am saying is that besides those real one there are fake USB's with less price than the real one.
See the link you gave me shows a 2 GB USB for around 46 and those i am talking about is of 30$. While 4 GB is almost 39$.
there is aalso a 64GB avalible, but at $2799.96 I'm not getting one any time soonQuote:

It's entirely possible that it is a 2GB drive (They're fairly common) and it is using something similar to Stacker...
although... There are 8GB and 16GB Flash drives... Here's the first link that came up in a google search (http://www.supermediastore.com/usb-f...pen-drive.html). So it's entirely possible that they really are that large and your friend screwed up trying to use it.
Peace,

Hmmmm,
I can see the point about using some sort of compression utility, as was common back in the days of very small (and expensive) HDDs but to compress 18Gb or even 8Gb onto a 2Gb drive does seem rather a lot to expect.
I have never played with a USB stick that large, but I wonder what the maximum is for folder size, partition size and number of files?
I would have thought that the only way to verify these devices is to use a media/hardware analysis tool that actually scans the media rather than reporting what it finds in the CMOS/BIOS or the OS?
