@ Moto
I hate to be the bearer of bad news mate but it does look like you got stung by one of the biggest scams going around concerning flash drives.
The same thing is also very prevalent for the cheap usb mp3 players from china as well ... you have been warned!

The worst part of it all is that you don't even realize you've been scammed until you have to format the flash drive. This wipes out their doctored FAT thus revealing the true size of the unit's storage capacity.
