40GB pen drive?

Were u/he ever able to use the whole 40 GB or at least more that 20 GB?

Why don't u try to format it from command prompt?

Try HP USB Disk Storage Format tool and see if it works. Win2k / XP cannot format a disk with Fat32 for more than 32 Gb you'll have to use a third party tool for that.

I dont think they have 40gb models, but i know some people sell duplicate pen drives of 40gb , 60gb and 80gb on footpath,for 300 and 400rs which really wont work.

and yes there are 32gb and 64gb models which costs 3k+ and 5k+ approx.

The 40 GB and 32 GB china models are fake. It's actually a 1GB or 500 MB pen drive. The volume it's showing is a virtual one.

The Filesystem of the Pen drive seems to be dirty... Take a mug full of water and immerse the pendrive in it (u can use Surf Excel) and then try it, it should work ..........
