Back from the movie Ronin: "if you have a doubt, there's no doubt".
I once got a "nice" similar present in Beijing when they sold me a 2GB fake sony usbkey in 2005 (which was instead 64MB) for 20b,. After many chores with machines hung while copying on it, googling around I found a forum page where all the people who got fooled like I did gathered.... they said there that these fake keys were sold just to foreigners, and that the only way to use them was to use some proprietary tools to reformat them to the original capacity (btw, some *.exe tools). So I did and at least recovered the key which, with 64MB, still makes good use for a DOS boot. Better than nothing. Btw, now comes the fun part: on that forum there was an englishman complaining he had already mailordered 100 of them.... and payed UPFRONT!!!! :D On Sun, Jul 25, 2010 at 2:14 PM, Siju George <sgeorge...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > My Cousin was sold a Kingston Flash drive in the streets of Delhi. > It was told to Him that it was 128 GB. > It has a Kingston label with 128GB printed on it. > In windows as well as on OpenBSD it shows 128GB. > > But you cannot fill it with not more than around 1 GB. > > I guess this is some kind of hoax? > Any body came across these kind of drives? > > thanks > > --Siju
