Try the steps below and see if your problem is corrected.
“Usually this happens when you a backup program or image recovery maker tries to use the flash drive. Just be very careful you follow the commands on the correct disk number as mentioned in the original article!!! I followed these commands below very carefully and it fixed my problem. My problem was a 64GB USB flash drive was showing just 32GB, and this was after I created a Recovery Drive on Windows 10 on the USB drive and later changed my mind and wanted to use the drive for something else. We want to select Partition 1 because it’s the only partition on the USB drive and we need to nuke it.īelow are steps I received from manufacturer in case this helps anyone – very similar to steps in this original article above I assume. Let’s select the disk number that represents our USB drive (just substitute the disk number with the respective one showing up on your screen):Īnd then select the partition. It’s not showing up in the GUI though so we need to fix that. The first thing we need to do is list all the disks that Windows knows about.įrom the graphic above, you can see diskpart knows my disk is 59GB. You can get here fast by pressing the Windows Logo key on your keyboard and the letters “xa”. It’s this last part, deleting partition, which saved my butt.īust open a command prompt and type diskpart. In other words, it lets you divide up a physical disk into logical volumes. It’s a built in Windows tool that lets you partition your disk. This is seriously a task for diskpart.exe. What the heck are you supposed to do when the Windows format tool won’t let you format your removable media at full capacity? Diskpart will save your butt man I didn’t even have an option to format at 64GB! I thought about reformating the volume however, 32GB was the largest capacity visible from the drop down list. In fact, it erroneously thought the maximum capacity of my 64GB drive was only 32GB.įlustered, I yanked the drive and roughly attached it to my PC.īut Windows was showing the same problem. Low and behold, when I pressed Command + i and viewed the info, my Mac was only detecting 32GB of space. I knew my USB drive wasn’t damaged because it was just working a moment ago. Once I finished my digital hocuspocus, I plugged my thumb drive into my Mac Mini but when I dropped the 32GB file onto the drive, my Mac bitched about there not being enough space on the destination drive. dmg and ran HDITUTIL to spruce up final product. So, I wanted to install Mac OS X Yosemite in VirtualBox so I installed IESD, converted the. I purchased this thing when 64GB USB drives began flaunting their commodious features – so it wasn’t cheap. It’s like sitting first class on Delta Airlines, sitting in the handicap bathroom stall at Old Navy or sitting in the front seat of a Hyundai Equus. The other day something weird happened to my USB drive.
