Usb Pen Drive Wont Work!!!???

[Allusivedesign]

I have a problem. after setting up the brand new 8gb pen drive i unplugged it and when i went to use it again i plugged it back in but could not access any of my programs or files. the folders were there however no files or programs? so i formatted the pen drive only to find that another error arose. now (in the attached picture you can see) it reads 0 space and 0 free... is there any way to fix this? another thing, when i try to re-format the drive it gives me an error at the end of the process that windows could not complete the formatting process. please help me out, let me know what i can do!!

Where'd you get the drive? Places selling them real cheap or on ebay have a record of selling fakes. If you are sure its not a fake, have you tried it in a different computer or in a different Operating System? We have a Read thread at the top of this forum that deals with flash drive issues: https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic45834.html

You can also try contacting the manufacturer direclty to ask questions.

Go to the website of the manufacturer of the drive. They usually have utilities... If not fixable there, they will nearly always send you a replacement without argument.

You might try other utilities as well, as 80 percent of all such drives are made by Samsung... SanDisc, Lexar, and so on.
