Question about high capacity (2GB) SD cards

My new Kingston 2GB SD card is being read by my laptop's card reader as only 980mb with only 542mb free space!

The card is formatted as FAT32 right now. I noticed my old 512mb card is formatted with FAT, but when I formatted this 2GB card with FAT, my image files were corrupt.

Is there something special I need to do with these high capacity memory cards before my laptop will read correctly?
 
Check into the ability of your particular SD card reader to read a 2GB card. For instance, some eMachine laptops had card readers that maxed out at 1GB.

I've put 2GB SD cards (actually, one SD and one Mini-SD) into my PDA and my cell phone without incident.
 
should these larger (2gb) SD cards be formatted as FAT32 or regular FAT?

when i stick it into my laptop's card reader, it prompts to me format, even though my camera worked fine with it.

when I pick FAT32 and format, then my camera (casio EX S600) can't read it

So then i format it as FAT, but then my camera doesn't allow me to use the fully capacity!
