Increase Your MMC Space Your files in MMC are stored in
multiple (disk) blocks. So if
you format using 16K block,
the space used will be 16K
eventhough your file is just
1K. If you buy MMC, it is usually
preformatted with 16K block.
Therefore alot of space is
wasted as most installed
program files are usually less
than 2K. You will need a card reader to
do this:-
1. Connect card reader and
copy all your files in the MMC
to computer disk. (Make sure
you set the show all/hidden/ os files to "on")
2. Do a format of the MMC
using command line "format"
and use the /A=size option.
Alternative, you can use the
Disk Management in Adminstrative Tools to
format. Make sure you select
FAT. For 256MB MMC, smallest
block you can use is 4K, 128MB
is 2K, 64Mb is 1K and 32MB is
512B. (Note: You cannot use the
phone "format MMC" to do
this as the format just clear
the allocation table and does
not change the block size)
3. Copy back all files to MMC. Now you will find that you
will have more space. 256mb
MMC got back 30+ mbs
