Motorollin, I was stung too on one of those el cheapo thumbdrives. Same exact problem. Was once 16gb (but never really worked that way), then it magically turned 8gb. Figured, okay - I can still use that... but soon after she started puking up blood and I had to lay her to rest permanently. Good lesson to be learned here, eBay and el cheapie mass storage solutions from China are a terrible combination! lol
