I plan to buy 2 of the 4 gb Hitachi microdrives.

Nothing I could do could save it - My Canon 20D could not format it, and windows XP couldn't format it. It crashed -plain and simple. BUT - Amazon's stated policy is that there are no returns or refunds to Marketplace sellers after ONE WEEK - so I'm stuck with the piece...
