  1. usb went from 128gb to 32gb after installing windows


    I used my "expensive" usb stick it was 60 dollars way back when I bought it but it's now like 20, and I used this usb stick to put windows 10 on my new ssd, and now that I want to use the usb again, it is saying that it only has 32gb on it. I tried formatting the usb, multiple times, with no success. is there any way that I can get back my 98gb that I "lost" after installing windows?

    :)

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    Step By Step from vista:
    From admin cmd prompt

    1. diskpart
    1a. list disk
    2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

    xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk

  4. usb went from 128gb to 32gb after installing windows

    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?
