Put my new SD card into boss's camera. It asked to format: It formatted one partition of 975MB leaving 975MB Unallocated.
I use Vista:
Went to computer management, disk management and could see the 2 partitions:
Partition 1: healthy: active, primary: was fat 32 that I changed to NTFS because the help section said that was the only way to extend the partition size: When r-click the open, explore, change drive letter, format properties and help are dark while extend, shrink and delete volume sections are grey and unclickable
Partition 2: has New: simple, spanned, and striped: volumes greyed; the only dark and clickable things are properties and help
How can I make the whole disk useable?

Did you try formating with the Camera? Before that, Try formating with Windows Disk manager, then format with the camera, It will solve the problem.
SOURCE: Disk extension
try a program like Norton PartitionMagic (which costs about 60 dollars) or the free GParted (which is a live cd. you should download it and burn it to a cd with a program like nero or alcohol120%)

use the pc to completely format the card, that will or should delete a partition too. format it like you would a floppy disk
SOURCE: Unable to delete or fomat hard drive.
1) You cannot format the OS partition using Windows “Computer Management”
2) If you are trying to format another partition or another Drive in your computer and you can not do that thru “Computer Management”, then you can format your drive using a Windows Cd or any Partition Utility tool. (Using that you also can format your main (OS) partition)

Yes I have same problem, understand that u have to remove the partition but none of the free partition software work on SD card, except those that u have to pay.
Copy all your data, Use SD format tool to restore and then start all overhttps://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detai...
