R u using vista or xp, if xp it is not compatable with xp bcoz it is exFAT file system ie extended File Allocation Table
it is new type which can handle big memory, i also purchased from same and it works correctly


exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table, aka FAT64) is a proprietary file system suited especially for flash drives, introduced by Microsoft for embedded devices in Windows Embedded CE 6.0 and in their desktop operating system, starting with Windows Vista Service Pack 1.[1] exFAT can be used where the NTFS file system is not a feasible solution, due to data structure overhead.
The advantages over previous File Allocation Table (FAT) file system versions include:
Scalability to large disk sizes
Theoretical file size limit of 264 bytes (16 exabytes), limit raised from 232 bytes (4 gigabytes in FAT32)
Cluster size of up to 2255 sectors, implementation limit of 32 MB
Free space allocation and delete performance improved due to introduction of a free space bitmap
Support for more than 216 files in a single directory
Support for access control lists (not supported yet in Windows Vista SP1)[2]
Support for Transaction-Safe FAT File System (TFAT) (optionally WinCE activated function)
Provision for OEM-definable parameters to customize the file system for specific device characteristics
Timestamps can finally be in UTC[3] rather than only local time (starting with Vista SP2)
Additionally, exFAT requires less disk space overhead than NTFS; One reviewer who performed comparative tests found that a 4GB flash drive formatted with NTFS uses 47.2 MB of disk space for overhead, whereas exFAT uses 96 KB.[4]
The disadvantages compared to previous FAT versions include:
Devices using exFAT will not be able to use Windows Vista's ReadyBoost capability.[5]
Licensing status is unclear. However, Microsoft has previously patented portions of the FAT file system.[6]
Not available for previous versions of Microsoft Windows.[7]
Not currently available as an open source implementation.

I too have the same problen everydata im copying is getting disappeared I tried to format it in LINUX but it didnt work.I will inform if I get any solution

I m facing same problem wid my 40GB Kingston pendrive. I had use on XP and wista bt didn't work. If anyone found solution then please let me know...Thanks in advance..

I too have the same problem but now it is removed by formating it through HPusb format

The tellin about fat64 system is right
but using that is complicated
so if you dont want your money to get wasted then change oartion size below 32 gb format it through fat32 via installin XP cd



hope it works with you as now mine is started workin properly

System configs
vista home premium
and XP media centre

Hiiii...

thats a terrible thing to bear finally when such a huge-spacious pendrive is in ur hand but of no use...hahaha. actually i myself is having the same problem as i myself bought not 1 but 11 of those of 40GB each from Palika Bazar itself on my last trip earlier this month. i consulted several of my collegues and came to know that it is the problem with XP which doesnot support disk greater than 32GB. it shows file system as RAW which needs to be converted to NTFS file format. i would suggest u to kindly try the whole thing using Linux or Ubuntu or Mac.

plz let me know ur proceedings..

Mam your system has been virus infected pleas scan your computer as Quick heal antiviorus and pen drive is repeat full Farmat and use then. replay about thank

A Kingston 64 GB pen drive is faked pen drive. it can be verified when you insert a pen drive in win xp, a original king stone pen drive display a message " Kingston data traveler found" & when you inserted this fake drive in my case it shows "Ccore flash drive"

second thing even if you formatted this pen drive with fat, fat32, Ntfs, Ext2, Ext3 (Linux partition). it doesn't make any difference with respect to problem discussed with this post.

it is probably done by making changes in 4 gb or 8gb pen drive flash

so you probably wasted your money in buying fake Kingston pen drive like me.

Hi all

Previouly it was showing me same prob with 64 gb pendrive but i folloed the solution suggested by neeraj
downloaded it and
c:>fat32format f:
and now it is working fine even previously it was showing file there but on runing it it shows crrupted

let me check more .............

Thanks neeraj bro :-)

Tarul

I also purchase the 40 GB pen drive from palika but I can not format this in windows XP,windows VISTA and in linux system. Person who know the chinese language he may do something about it. If you find something in the next please write me.

My dear neeru,

you should confom the FAT system fiirst is there any issue with your FAT.

and if it presists that use a tool named perfect recovery available on download site..

I also bought the drive for Rs. 500/- and I am unable to use it due to the same reasons. I can see that some solutions have worked for some while the same has not for others.. This is very risky as I cannot trust to keep data back up on this drive as its completely unreliable.

Hi friendz,

My bro bought a 64 gb pen drive frm palika bazaar in delhi.It was a fake one. we tried a lot of utilities to format this one.When we search on different blogs at last we find it was fake. The below mentioned is what happens.

What they have done is, they take normal 256mb pen drives, they flash them and make the size show as 32 GB or whatever.Thats what used to happen before, but now these fakes have become even more technologically advanced. Now your pen drive will store 32 GB, but it can never be copied back on to your computer or if it can be, the data is corrupted. Since it never stored the files, it merely stored the headers.

Do not go in for such fakes, they're just waste of time and money.

This 64 GB pen drive is not a original Kingston make. It is Ccore some chinese fake brand. Now you need to partition this pen drive into less than 32 gb and format that as FAT32 and start use it. so far no problem, but still some files are get corrupted and some of them are working.

i will reply after 2 days of using this pen drive.

Man yo idea worked like abrakadabra!
i wanna thank you very much for sharing this
with me and the entire I.T fratanity.
