To solve the problem use HP USB DISK STORAGE FORMAT TOOL V2.1.8. You can find it at https://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.

try to format in NTSF it's too big for FAT (FAT is limited to 4 GB).

FAT32 is limited to 3 (sometimes 4) gb file size. The actual volume time is limited to 30gb.

Try partitioning it into several different drives if you need FAT or just use NTFS.
