Hi,
Ithink it could be due to virus activity. Some virus make the contents of thedrive hidden, that's why user can't see the
files and the space available for use is less than thecapacity and also can not open the drive.
It issuggested that go to FOLDER OPTIONS - and select SHOW HIDDEN FILES. It may showthe hidden files.
If can not show ,hidden file (tools >folder option>view> check on show hidden file>check off hide protected and checkoff hide extension) now can see all hidden file in c drive. If not think......
For ensure again
run>type> msconfig > hit can not open ms config if virus effected
run >type> regedit>hit>can not open registry if virus effected
run >type >gpedit.msc>hit can not open group edit policy if virus effected
Otherwise, ifyou don't have any vital data on the drive, just format it in another pc.Pleasenote, before insert the
Pen drive .Go to run command from start menu OR Press Win key+R and type gpedit.msc and hit>Usser configuration
>system>turn off auto play >enable>use down arrow key select all drive >apply >ok. Control panel>administrative tools > service>select any word in right side and presss for select Shell Hardware Detection> d -click >use down arrow key>disable >start. And now can insert pen drive and format. Hope this wouldfix the issue and
.
Youshould fully scan by f-secure bootable cd or any another antivirus bootable cd.Just insert the disk and restart.

Now install fresh O.S.

Ouch!
If the installation disk that came with the drive has any sort of troubleshooting or recovery tool, try that first. If not, try the trial version of System Mechanic from Iolo. It's a really good piece of software that could help recover the data if possible.
As a last resort, the Verbatim website suggests Norton Disk Doctor or Data Rescue X. They may have free trials. You'll have to check their website.
Beyond this, you're probably looking at a professional data recovery company. That can be expensive!
Good luck! Remember to rate the solutions!

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
