No, it didn't. And just to clarify, the drive is shown as 8MB not an 8MB partition. (It is seen as unpartitioned)

I tried buying a memory card (16Gb?, I think) for my blackberry and tried hooking it up to the mac to use as an iPod. When syncing, it was going to take like 5hours or something to sync, so I unplugged the data cable (the RIM sync software wasn't great at quitting). Anyway, after unplugging the data card was corrupted, and I could only get it to reformat to be like 2Gb or something even on a PC or a Mac.
I think it's just the way they get toasted..

Is this not a famous eBay scam - 8GB drives are "tricked" into showing up as 32GB. Then something goes wrong - normally when you try to copy over 8GB of files and the whole thing goes pear-shaped because it is only a 8GB flashdrive.
It is probably now telling you that it is a faulty 8GB drive because that is exactly what you bought...
Time for a PayPal/eBay dispute if that is where you got it..

Thanks for your concern, but the file (folder) I was deleting when my.. erm.. incident occurred was about 5 GB.
Edit: Sorry, I misread, regardless, the drive is shown as 8 MB, even if I was scammed, I'd be happy with 8GB
under volumes? does it not show something like the cut and paste job i did below?

Identify which CompactFlash card-reader you're using. Be specific: manufacturer, model number, etc.
Some CF card-readers won't handle 64GB cards.
