    USB

    I installed my 8 GB USB but it only shows 1.10 GB. How do i fix this problem ? It has to be simple, iam not good with computers.
    This is Windows 10

    My Linux Mint USB works fine.
    I have a 1 GB USB it shows .99 GB.
    Is it possible my 8 GB USB is messed up, i have used it several times. As cheap as USBs are i will get a new one.
    Thank,s Chuck

      Can you be more specific?

      What do you mean by β€œinstall”?

        My fix iam going to get another USB from WalMart this 8 GB USB must be broke i guess, the other USBs i put in the computer port shows the correct size. This 8 GB that seems broke i have had over 2 years plus i have used it may times.
        Its better it seems to throw it away and get a new one. About $10.00 for a pack of 2- 8GB at WalMart.
        Thank,s from Chuck for your GREAT HELP FROM PC HELP FORUMS

            Sounds to me you have corrupted memory, or hidden partitions on that Flash drive.
            I would run CHKDSK from Command Prompt on that Flash Drive.
            I think you are formatting on part of the Flash Drive.

              @chuck davis my bet is that you have installed some version of Linux on that drive which has created partitions unusable by Windows.

                Hi Chuck.
                The Flash Drive can easily be repaired using Diskpart.

                    Like anything, learn how to use properly, first.

                      In my last work a β€œconsultant” deleted a customer’s HDD that we were to make an image from, and then install on 550 systems.. ..talking about moments of pure terror when he realized what he had done!
