Missing Storage on USB Flash Drive

[paulski]

Hi all,

Need some help if poss?? Have a USB 2gb flash drive which is currently saying it only has 3mb storage capacity

I have re-formatted the drive, and it is currently in NTFS format. All hidden folders are active, so I can only assume there is no more data on there at all, so don't know why I am missing the rest of my storage

Has anyone come across this before? The only possible thing I can think of is something to do with the partioning etc but I don't know enough to be able to fix this.

Thanks in advance for any help

Try formatting in FAT, not FAT32 or NTFS

Don't bother wasting your time, 2GB flash drives go for < $10

Try recreating the partition in device manager, if that doesn't like there is likely something wrong with the drive.
