You don't need to define "Volume Label" and "Quick Format" should also be OK but just in case you can try "Format Type -
Full Overwrite" but it will take much longer.

After formatting it should show the full size of the card. What machine are you formatting it on? Do you use a built in card reader or an external USB interfaced card reader? Using a built in card reader can be an issue. Presumably you have tried Option with format size adjustment = ON, haven't you?
