  1. 2TB Flash Drive Downgraded To 32GB Flash Drive Stuck On One Partition


    Previously, days ago, the flash drive I was using originally stored up to 2 terabytes on there and I recently had a huge bug where I had no access into it, which I managed to fix. After this happened, it now only goes up to 32 gigabytes taking up the entire partition.How am I suppose to get it back to normal where it's 2TB taking up the entire partition instead of just 32GB?I did try using "diskpart", and based on my situation, it didn't work for me at all.

    :)

    File explorer won't write past 32gb on 2tb flashdrive

    Hi JMiller1958

    Are you referring to a 2TB USB flash drive or an external hard drive?

    If you are referring to a 2TB flash drive - did you purchase that flash drive on the Internet and how much roughly sis you pay for that 2TB Flash drive?

    Unless that flash drive is a DataTraveler Ultimate GT and you paid 2,273 US

    Then, I am afraid that is not a 2TB flash drive, it is more than likely a 32GB flash drive with a fooled partition table to show in file Explorer as a 2TB drive . . .

    Partition a USB Flash Drive

    This is the scary stuff that happens when you use Google:

    'USB flash drives cannot be partitioned in the Windows operating if the drive is identified as removable media. The only way to partition the USB flash drive is to flip the removable bit so that it is recognized as fixed media instead which can be partitioned like any normal hard drive'

    Infoz/Appz:

    I got that from searching for 'partition flash drive'.

    I should get paid for this.
