Hi qais_baba

1...Plug your Kingston data traveler in to your computer
2...Go to desktop and open "My Computer"
3. You will see your Kingston Data Traveler listed there
4...Right click on the Data Traveler
5...Click on "Format"
This will format your Kingston Data Traveler
Please rate me

that sounds like it is blank it should be preformatted and if you trying to format it try using ntfs or use its supplied software if it isnt formatting but if the drive shows that as free space that is normall

Click Start
Click Run
Type CMD
Press Enter
Type CHKDSK q: /F
where 'q:' is the drive-letter assigned by Windows to your Kingston.
Press Enter.
When "check-disk" has completed, Windows will remote the "write-protect".
