Ok, now that I understand what type of editor you are talking about and 
the scenario, I can agree that changing the label of the card is the 
thing to do.

It is a particular scenario.

Then, remember that you can just edit the label to anything without 
formatting, in Windows. There is a "label" command in MsDOS that should 
still be able to do the trick.


That said, it happens that I can not quadruple the storage in my tablet, 
because the maximum size it accepts is not that large.
