I tried to add password and some kind of zone to Verbatim Store and Go 32Gb. I didn't like it and tried to delete it all and now it has been renamed Publiczone and is only 7Gb. How do I reset this flash drive to its original state?

Formatting just deletes all information that is on a disk, so if you format a drive with two partitions on it, you're only formatting the partitions, not deleting the partition

so what you want to do is delete the partition between the two drives.. or at least make one of the partitions bigger.

in Windows 7
if you go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Storage > Disk Management > right click the partition you want to make SMALLER and click Shrink Volume, then right click the partition you want to make BIGGER and then click extend volume

you have now created a smaller partition and a larger partition

in Windows XP you're gonna need a program to do this.. if you google partitioning programs you'll find heaps, a good one that was very common was called "Partition Magic"

hope this helps

It has password protection. Open My Computer on your PC, insert the USB drive, open the password file, enter your password, then select the option to remove password protection from the USB drive. If this does not work, contact Verbatim for a solution, these USB flash drives have lifetime warranties.

Hi unfortunaltey there isnt much you can do

There are some free data recovery software out there which you could try


the only way around this is to format the drive, do this by clicking on my computer, then right clicking on the USB flash drive and clicking format


Please can i ask that you leave feedback and vote if this has been useful

Im not specifically sure what to do, but I would try reloading the Store 'n' Go application and see if it helps.... You can download it here....

You will have to download the v-safe software again for your flashdrive from manufacturer website. Then you can change the size of the secure area or remove it completely. http://www.verbatim.com/support/support.cfm?open=Manuals
You should be able to find the software here in the downloads section.

Go to http://www.verbatim.com/support/support.cfm?open=Articles and download the V-safe software then install on your flash drive. You can unlock it using old password

Some flashdrives have a locking device on it so you cant add or delete check to make sure that is not locked

try this link. http://verbatim.com/support/support-article.cfm?support_id=807E395C-1422-1392-A886DB00B24DFF68&supportType=Download

In order to delete your privacy zone, you have to get the application once more. To get the software click here http://verbatim.com/support/support.cfm?open=Downloads ...ok so you will have to format your flash drive with the application, removing the privacy zone if you want, this will obiously DELETE ALL DATA ON THE DRIVE after the format has completed, you can then remove the application from you flash drive, if you still remember the privacy zone password, then all you have to do is just type it and you have acess to the privacy zone... anyone who needs assistance can contact me to [email protected] if you are confused, email me and i can also try to clear it up for you. MAKE SURE THAT YOU CHOOSE THE CORRECT PRIVACY ZONE APPLICATION FOR YOUR FLASHDRIVE
