Hi, i bought a 8G MSPD off ebay, and when i went to start transferring files to it, a bunch of my files came back scrambled and i couldn't delete them, i had to format and start over. After i tried to make this work for about four hours, i decided it was junk, and wrote the seller to request a refund...this is what i received back:

Has anyone ever even heard of this? I have about nine or ten MSPDs, Sony brand and generic, ranging from 256MB to 4G, and I have never had a single file scrambled, nor had any problem transferring ANY files, even some that may take up 2 or 3 gig. I have never heard anything about a transfer size restriction, and i have searched several forums and found nothing on this topic...
And furthermore, why would Sony do such a thing? 128MB?! Almost EVERY file i have that i would transfer to an 8G memstick is OVER 128MB, thats why i wanted one in the first place. So why would sony put out a product that is about 85% USELESS?! The only thing i could possibly fit on this card, if indeed that is the problem, are the things that take up NO SPACE AT ALL, which totally negates my need for it. Could someone please give me some insight on this little situation? Has anyone ever heard of this or had this problem with a memstick? Plz help!
