The flash disk is probably loaded as a removable drive and not as a harddrive, so TC doesn't show the sizes. That's odd because my USB2 harddisks show up as harddisk drives in the drive list, so TC shows their sizes too.

You are absolutely right, usb flash is really displayed as removable drive.

Could you add this feature of definition of the sizes in the future versions?

The problem is that some drivers crash Windows when requesting the disk size for a removable drive while no disk is in the drive...

May be it is meaningful make an opportunity of definition of the sizes for the certain disks by letter (by analogy to the definition disks letters for a mode of copy/delete compatibility)?
