If your drive says Data Traveler 120/128GB your problem is that the drive is a Fake. its counterfeit.

You cannot format a volume larger than 32 gigabytes (GB) in size using the FAT32 file system during the Windows XP installation process. Windows XP can mount and support FAT32 volumes larger than 32 GB (subject to the other limits), but you cannot create a FAT32 volume larger than 32 GB by using the Format tool during Setup. If you need to format a volume that is larger than 32 GB, use the NTFS file system to format it. Another option is to start from a Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me) Startup disk and use the Format tool included on the disk.

It is working good and is enhanced in VISTA. In XP and 7, is having just the problem you pointed. This is All.
It can not be formated thou XP or 7. It is auto rebuilding as you inserted in Vista PC.
If you would like to format it, in XP, you have to download by searching the HPusbformat tool : SP27608.exe, install it, and go through its menu, to format the 128gb in FAT32. I use it and work well. I move the 128gr from to one xp to another 7 or vista, it should go back to the firs same problem loosing data or hosting its data.
Still is having problem data traveler 200 ask kingston for more, if she answer, please informed me.
