[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1130881, member: 8287"] Is this a U3 drive by chance? What brand is it? What version of OSX is on your Mac? If it's not 10.6 an 8GB drive will never show up as 8GB but 7 and some change. A U3 drive (Sandisk for one) has U3 partition that no disk utility will ever remove. You have to get a tool from Sandisk to remove it and get the full size of the drive. [/QUOTE]
