Hey Hey,

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,
HT
