Hi, I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to online.
I have a micro SDHC that is 256gb, that only ever reads as 4mb. I have used Etcher to burn a Raspbian image onto it, and Etcher recognized it as 256gb. However, on Windows 8 it's still 4mb. (Raspbian wouldn't boot - maybe there's a gb cieling, however not relevant to my needs.
What I am specifically interested in, is if I can do anything to make it appear as 2 smaller 128gb cards, or maybe even 4 64gb cards, possibly with some kind of partition scheme.
Please realize I have no clue how these work, or if a device that has a size limit on the sdhc's can even physically read a card that has been partitioned into smaller parts, I am simply looking for a method to do it. Otherwise, this probably expensive card is completely useless.
Thank you for your time.
(also not sure where the right place to ask this is, sorry if I've done something wrong.)
## It appears I wasn't completely clear, sorry for the confusion.
I have no intention of using this 256gb sdhc with my Raspberry Pi.
My issue is, that no matter if I use Gparted or format with Windows, the card will only ever read as 43mb.
I can confirm it read as 43mb before I ever even wrote Raspbian to it.
When I did so, Etcher read it as a 256gb, and warned me that it was unusually large. It failed each time I tried, for some reason.
I am concerned that this sdhc is a fake, after all I did not purchase it (my parents bought it, and sold me the computer it was in) and no matter what I use it only ever reads as 43mb.
I was asking about the partitions, because I was wondering if it was possible to bypass memory limits with certain devices, by having say 4 64gb partitions for a device only supporting 64gb sd's, etc.
Sorry I was not more clear.
