4GB will only format 200MB.....

I have tried to format this drive many different ways, and the highest amount it will give me is 200MB.  Is this a defective drive or is there something else that I can try?  Using Windows 7, 64 bit, if that matters.

Return it to where you bought it,  Something’s wrong.

This worked great for me:

Download SDFormatter from here, then install it, open the program and click format. It should fix any issues.

Hope that works for you! Have an awesome day. :smiley:

An interesting app SDFormatter but there is nothing on their website or in their documentation that indicates it supports anything other than SD/SDHC memory cards.  There is no reference to flash drives.

do a google search for hp disk storage format tool. it works on all devices and will restore the original capacity if possible.

Indeed. However, I used it for a 250 GB flash drive that was not SD at all, and it worked swell. It’s definitely worth a shot, in my humble opinion. :smiley:
