    I dont exactly know a program but you can test it in a different way.

    Copy just under 8gb of files into the memory stick and paste it somewhere else. If it gives you an error, fails or says its full then you have a problem.

    Vista can do this by right clicking on the flash drive and going to properties like you would with a hard drive.
