Want to turn 8gb Micro SD back to a 8gb Micro SD Card instead of a 117mb Boot Card.

[Bigfame]

I had a Nook Color but went and got a Xoom. I had a Transcend 8gb Class 6 Micro Sd in the Nook Color. Right Now after taking all the data off the SD Card it says it's just a Boot Card with 117mb. Is there a way to turn this Micro back to the 8gb Class 6 that I bought. I tried formatting to no avail. I am stuck and ANY HELP would be appreciated. Thanks

If you are doing this in Windows you probably will have to go to Disk Management and delete the first partition then format.

Right click "My Computer"
Select "Manage"
Select "Disk Management" (you need Administrative privileges)
Be very careful to pick the correct drive letter!
Right click the area where the drive letter appears and select "Delete partition"
Create a new primary partition and format

There's also another program called sd formatter that alot of people recommend that can be found here

SD Formatter 3.0 for SD/SDHC/SDXC - SD Association
it will give you back your space

I used the SD formatter on a card with the same issue, it seemed to have wiped the card, but I still had to reformat it again under Windows before the full size showed again. What settings should one use w/ the SDformatter?
thanks

Honestly, i'm no expert, but i have used "quick format" with size adjustments off. i think that might be default settings and it has worked every time for me.
