    Determining the capacity of a flash drive


    Because I wanted to know exactly how much memory capacity a particular flash drive has. Because I tried checking it out in file explorer but no luck with it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Flash Drive Capacity Problem

    Thanks for the info. I took the other flash drive back. I checked the capacity on the new one before I backed up my files. The 128GB flash drive gave me a capacity of 115GB. Kind of threw me when I checked the capacity after the back up was completed
    and the total capacity read 32GB. Now I know the reason why.

    Flash Drive Capacity Problem

    I recently purchased from Costco a SanDisk Ultra 3.0 128 GB flash drive to create a Windows 10 recovery backup.

    After performing the backup, I checked the properties on the flash drive and it said that the total capacity on this drive was only 32 GB.

    I re-formatted the flash drive and also did a dos chkdsk and the capacity still shows 32 GB.

    Another question ... should the flash drive be formatted as NTFS or the Fat32 default.

    Before I take it back to Costco, am I missing something.

    Determining the capacity of a flash drive

    CD to flash drive

    Hi Pam,

    There are several ways to copy your pictures from the CD to the Flash drive. One of which is by using the shortcut keys to copy and paste it.

    We suggest following the steps below:

    • Insert the CD and flash drive to your PC.
    • Use Cortana and type File Explorer then click it.
    • Choose This PC.
    • Open the CD drive.
    • If all the pictures are in a specific folder, press Ctrl + A
      on your keyboard to automatically choose all the pictures then, press Ctrl + C to copy it.
    • Afterwards, Open the Flash drive, choose the location where you want to copy the pictures then press
      Ctrl + V to paste it.

    Let us know if you need anything else.
