My pen drive i.e Data Traveler 32GB(Kingston) is not responding to formatting. It can not store any data. Any attempt for formatting ends up showing "windows can not format the drive"

Theoretically, you can't format a more than 32 GB drive with FAT/FAT32 file system. In your case you have to choose the NTFS file system to format your 64 GB USB flash drive. However, if you really need to format it with FAT32, you got to use the command line or a third party tool. Hope this is going to help you.

2gb kingston pen drive showing capicity only 4 mb so pls provide the solution

1. Download this tool:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4040651/LLFTOOL.EXE

2. Format

(WARNING: After running this low level format tool,
the whole USB flash disk surface will be fully erased.
Therefore, data restoration will be impossible after using this utility!)

Please note that this pen drive has been discontinued. Hence, there are no publically available drivers. Please log an issue with Kingston using the below address:

try re-partition and re-format your pen-drive

this problem may be due to a strong virus
just go through Dos promt
by writing cmd in run place at start menu
and then cd..
till u not get c:\ prompt
then write pendrive location like g: and press enter button
then u get g:\ then write format and press enter
hope by this process u will format ur pendrive

Try HP formatting tool with administrator previliages in vista

I know about this problem and the solution.

First, you should know your pen drive is infected with a virus. You can't usually repair it, you'lll just have to format it, and I'm getting to that.

Now, Before you format the pen drive, you might want to preserve some files in the drive?

Instead of trying to view the pen drive by double clicking or right click=>open TYPE the ASSOCIATED DRIVE LETTER at the RUN DIALOG BOX (start=>run)

Eg:
If your pen drive is assigned to drive E:
Start=>Run
Type "E:" (without quotes) and hit enter.
It should open.

Now you will probably see some weired .exe file, probably named fun.exe. That's the virus. You just cant delete it. BUT you can copy the rest of the imprtant files to your hard drive.

TO FORMAT
Start=>Run
type "cmd" (without qoutes) and hit enter
type "format/x E:" (without qoutes and mind your spellings and spacing. REPLACE "E:" with the associated drive letter of the pen drive)
Hit enter.

Hope my info fixes your problem,
Thanx for using fixya.
