    128GB-Pendrive's capacity fixed to 32GB after using it to install windows.


    I used my 128GB pen to install Windows 10 on a different PC using Microsoft's tool to create Windows 10's installation media USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO. After I was done with it I was going to format it back to its original state when I was surprised that in the format window under the "Capacity" tab, 32GB was the only option, no matter what file system NTFS, exFAT, etc... I used, almost as if the remaining 96GB disappeared/were damaged. How can I reset my pen so its capacity goes back to 128GB?

    :)

    Windows 10 upgrade on Surface 3 converted my 128GB Micro SD card into 32GB FAT32 drive

    I had a 128GB micro SD card in my Surface 3 for all of my music, videos and photos. When I upgraded to Windows 10, it reformatted the drive to FAT32, so not only did I loose my files but the drive capacity now shows only 32GB. The drive is now labeled
    "ESD-USB" an appears to have installation media for Windows installed. What happened here? How can I get it back to the full 128GB capacity?
