Yesterday i was transferring my data from my dell laptop to my friend sony vaio laptop. I had transferred all of my data to my laptop except of a 2 gb folder of my important data. I had connected my pen drive with my notebook, right clicked on the 2 gb folder, clicked on send to & an error window prompt that my pen drive is full, i was like What !!!
Because, my pen drive was of 8 gb & was completely empty. Then i opened drives index & got surprised that the capacity of my 8 gb hp pen drive was reduced to 286 mb, then i formatted it 5 times but nothing happened, then i googled about this issue, there was an forum from where i got my solution, Active@ KillDisk a powerful and compact software that allows you to destroy all data on hard disks, USB drives and floppy disks completely, excluding any possibility of future recovery of deleted files and folders. It’s a hard drive and partition eraser utility, which uses low level format technique.
I downloaded it from its official website, it is a free utility with upgrade option to some more features, but free one was enough to save my money from buying new pen drive. I installed this utility & formatted my pen drive with this utility & magic ! the storage capacity of my usb pen drive was back to 8 gb.
Lesson i have learned from this incident that, You Should unmount your portable storage devices before removing it from your laptop or pc
Download Active@ KillDisk
