Which is the brand of your pendrive?Is this the first time you are formatting it?Some non-standard pendrives fake their capacity at first and when formatted they reveal their actual capacity.

there is no "software" for this.

1.go to my computer
2.right click pen drive
3.choose format
4.from dropdown menu, select ntfs as filesystem
5. leave the rest of the settings as default.
6. format

if this does not work do it 2 more times, and refresh. other than that, i can suggest :
1. format drive in someone else's computer
2. tell us what company of is the pendrive
3. format in linux

You haven't replied to this? Is it a cheap Chinese one?

i got a drive of 8gb(printed on the box) for rs 150, but it didnt work. when i broke open the case, i saw that it didnt have the main controller chip on it. i felt like smacking my head against a wall. from then on, i always try to break open the pen drive in front of the shopkeeper, if im buying from a shady source.
