ISSUE NOW RESOLVED]When I try to format my 4gb SD card, it says "Capacity, 950 MB" It was 4 GB!
This all started when I put the Google chrome OS on my SD, 
It didn't work! 
Someone help me get it back to 4 GB!

Your missing space is in a format that Windows can't read, and since Windows can only read 950 megs of the 4 gigs, that's all it'll report to exist. I recommend reformatting the card to a single format (e.g. Fat32), but you'll loose all the data stored on it.
Now, I have a few questions for you:
1.) Why were you trying to put an entire operating system on a 4GB SD Card?
2.) Why did you post this on BiM as opposed to searching the vast internet for an answer?
I had a problem like this once.
My 8GB thumbdrive was only recording a capacity of 1.3 GB for some reason. While there were no files it still said it was full.
Turns out the datat that i had been delting from it stayed in the desktop trash can but was never delted from there once i did it went back to 8GB of data.
What I would do is get Google Chrome off your SD and then put the SD back into your camera and format the SD.

I tried searching for the answer, but I didn't find anything.
You're better off going to a tech support forum (which you WILL find on Google). Bricks in Motion is here to discuss brickfilming, so we don't really know a lot about tech stuff.
OK, so I went to disk management and found my card. It still had files on it! So I deleted what I could, 
but there was a big empty space on the card that just wouldn't format. I then new what I could type into Google! 
Using Google, I found my answer!
Thanks to everyone who replied!

I use my card to speed up frame capture and editing, so it kinda has something to do with brick filming.
