    Didn't write anything at all to the drive?

    Maybe failed because it couldn't gain full access due to that small partition? Not sure

    Probably best to forget about it, it is so small, not worth bricking your full drive over 16MB :)

    seriously... how much can that partition really help you if it is only 16mb? There's not much you can do with 16mb by today's standards

    Check MiniTool Partition Wizard to see where the rest is, maybe it's unpartitioned space now

    APTool does not worked for you ?

    with these tools you can select the right size I remember, so try again and fix the size.
