Partition on my Flash Drive (1 Viewer)

[ujuphleg]

I have a 64MB Flash drive (IBM USB 2.0)

For some unknown reason though, it'll only let me use 31.4 MB of it.

I've tried to reformat it, nothing works. My dad said it was given to him like that (from work) I reckon theres some kinda partition on it

So, the question is, how do I remove the partition or is there something else thats wrong with it that I have to fix?!

how can u be sure it's not a mislabelled product? (ie 32MB flash labelled as 64MB)

Who on earth would be dumb enough to make a 32MB flash drive?


Then again, it is IBM :S

But it isnt even 32 - its 31.4MB avaliable.

It sounds like it might be 32MB. After formatting, 31.4MB sounds about right.

be careful, there are fake 2gig sony flash disks that are acctualy 128megs, with a virus on it.

your might also be a fake.

my first USB drive was a 32mb one!!!

See, this is a USB 2.0 flash drive and its about 8 months old so its not that new....

The other flash drive I had, which was a 128MB one was also partitioned when I got it, but I can't remember how I got rid of it... this is the problem.
