Computer freezes with 4 mb Data Traveler

remember that a memory device needs space in which to operate
so a 4gb stick will have less than the 4gb storage
It is very possible that there is some memory being used that results in the 1.96 remaining
one possible solution is to read the stick and see if there is any files or folders than are required and then reformat it to get back to full memory

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

Try it in some other computer. If it still has a problem, take it back to where you bought it, and exercise the warranty to get it replaced.

Files on a flash drive can be corrupted if it is not removed from the USB port properly.
Before removing the flash drive click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon and then click on the flash drive you want to remove and then remove the flash drive when the computer message says it is Safe to remove.
To restore the flash drive you need to format the flash drive, but you will lose the data stored on the flash drive.
If you need the data on the flash drive these WEB sites may help: -

Hi lassiebee,

Try the USB drive in other USB ports on the computer. Are you using a USB mouse and USB keyboard?

If you have not tried this already, go to control panel, click on administrative tools, then double click computer management. In the left pane under computer management, click on disk management.
Make sure your Kingston data disk is plugged in to your usb port. In the right pane you should see your flash disk represented by a white bar with blue line on top. Right-click on the white bar and select "delete partition" Once the partition is deleted, right-click the bar once again and select create partition. Once you have created this partition, you should have the use of the maximum capacity of the flash drive.
