Maria, I have a 5 Gb microdrive which does report incorrectly as Les illustrated. I also have a 256 Mb compactflash card and the size and free/used storage on that are correct. I don't have anything between those sizes to check, but my guess is that it will be accurate up to about 1 Gb or maybe a little less.
The actual disk size and available space on the internal bn drives are reported correctly. It definitely can be confusing if you don't know about the bug.

Is this also true for smaller cards and the actual internal drives of the unit also? Thanks.
