Hello,
while formating in windows xp it wasnet show me the file system and allocation Unites after clicing format it show me the volume is to big unable to format ,and same in CMD .
plz help me for that
To solve the problem use HP USB DISK STORAGE FORMAT TOOL V2.1.8. You can find it at http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197. Do not format your 64GB Kingston PenDrive with NTFS file system since it does not function. Use FAT32 instead.
Thank you very much trinitron for the link of the software..found it very useful to format my 80 GB perndrive without any problem..formatted it with FAT32 and seems to be working fine without any problem..once again thanks a lot....
Here is a note to all having issues with 64GB Kingston flash drives. Kingston stamps the metal part of the USB interface with 2 or 3 rows of numbers. The counterfeit ones will not have this marking. If you have a unit without these markings and your having issues with formatting it, you will never be able to format it as a 64GB drive. At best, try to return it to where you purchased it from.
Thanks Trinitron. You got me on the right road. Your link just came up as a blank screen for some reason so with a bit of searching I found another link just in case anyone else had problems.
Hi dude I have also brought a Kingston 64 GB pen drive. initially it was getting detected and everything seems fine. I am using a Windows XP machine. after formatting the drive the size gets reduced to a mere 8 MB...
I faced same problem. I used scandisk in windows XP and select automatically fix file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad secotrs. now I can format the drive and It is working fine
