Thread: Flash Drive Woes

I have a 2 GB Transcend pen drive. I locked it using a data locking program and gave it to one of my friends. He formatted it and now, it only shows 1 GB as usable. The pen drive shows up as empty but it contains 1 GB of data. I also tried formatting but it hasn't helped. Give me a solution for the problem.

If there isn't any important data on the drive, the simplest fix is to delete all the partitions on it. To do this, click on Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management. Click on Disk Management. Right-click on the partition on the flash drive and click Delete Volume. Use similar steps to recreate a partition in the free space.
