Guys I got a problem.

I have a old 8GB SD card. I used it for Raspberry Pi recently. Just now I wanted to put in another distro image, so I used SDFormatter (as recommended online) to format. But after that, the storage becomes 69MB only. What goes wrong? I cannot change it back to 8GB no matter that I tried.

Please help!

If your SD card works in the raspberry pi, then it's normal. The rest of the space is formatted into Linux readable file system which windows doesn't recognise.

Now, I want to use that same card to load in another image (Openelec), using my Windows laptop, which the programme said cannot because not enough space....

where to buy raspberry pi model B now? asap?

if win32diskimager doesn't work then you might want to format everything, right click on Computer->Manage->Disk Management locate and confirm your SD card Disk. Delete all the volumes on it and partition it as 1 big partition again.
Please ensure you perform this with care, you won't want to delete your active HD partitions. YOu will now regain your SD card space as 1 big partition, format it and you should be ok.

call up the local distributor. read up the last few pages.

inside Disk Management, I can also see just 1 volume, that is the 69MB one, under that SD Disk. And, I am not able to delete that volume, that option is grey out.

That's weird, you should see 3 partitions. I'm not sure what happened to your SD card then.
