This is a 1GB card which I use in an Orange SPVM3100 and connect to
via a USB Cable to my laptop. Although the card is 1GB the reported
usable space is 600mb and there are not files visible. I have no
other way to connect this to my laptop. How do a regain the 'lost'
space

many thanks

A few came to mind...

1. Buy a card reader and reformat it. (The best option- read/writes are
generally much faster in a reader than through a device.)

2. Borrow a digital camera the card fits in and reformat it.

3. Download/buy software that will run on the 3100 and reformat it.

4. Find some other way I haven't thought of above to reformat it!
