[spider]

Hi Guys, I've a 4 GB Kingston pen drive which I used to install Chrome o/s that I had downloaded from net. Now as I insert it in my laptop it shows 1GB only. the Pen drive is only 4 months old. What could be the reason and can it be brought back to its original condition?

Plz help guys..........

Just reformat it.

If doesn't work - open My Computer>Manage>Disk Management - Delete partition and repartition.
If doesn't solve - use HP Flash Drive format.

This happs with me also when my 8 Gb pen drive only showing as 2Gb drive i even try full format but still it is showing 2Gb. and i also tried hp usb utility to format still no use. Then last i try low level format it takes some time to do low format but now its ok it is showing 8Gb

Yes in some case when normal format does not work - full low format works.
