not the fastest, but waterproof, and sits on the keyring or in pocket... literally not-in-the-way
of anything else.

yes it's been used for a while now, then one day when i plugged it in, everything is wiped.
My PC recognized it right away when i plugged it in, and ask me to format it. Click on format and CAPACITY only 200MB.
Google around and found this PDEDIT.exe but it's not working on my window 7.
its also possible that you have another partition on your usb drive. Some of the USB sticks come with security software that makes a secure partition on the drive so you can encrypt the data. It's possible that you inadvertently made a bigger partition that is invisible to the system unless you access it from a dedicated security software that came with the stick. We would need more info about the actual drive to help you out more.
This one i got from Micro Center and it's don't come with anything. Just a stick itself, brand is MicroCenter 4GB.
Tried to format it on my Mac, but it's still not working, i was able to see 4gb on my Mac. Tried to erase with MS-DOS on my mac and it's show 4G.B and then plug it back to Window and still get the same message.

Microcenter ....that is a cheap chinese knockoff flash drive

I betcha it's controller is fried. new 4gb are cheap

get one from supertalent. they do not outsource (like almost
everyone else, the name is just a name, the parts inside are a commodity
like apples....lowest bidder)


Supertalent is a us company and they build them themselves, no 'crap'
