To solve the problem use HP USB DISK STORAGE FORMAT TOOL V2.1.8. You can find it at http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197. Do not format your 64GB Kingston PenDrive with NTFS file system since it does not function. Use FAT32 instead.

Here is a note to all having issues with 64GB Kingston flash drives. Kingston stamps the metal part of the USB interface with 2 or 3 rows of numbers. The counterfeit ones will not have this marking. If you have a unit without these markings and your having issues with formatting it, you will never be able to format it as a 64GB drive. At best, try to return it to where you purchased it from.

Hi dude i have also brought a Kingston 64 GB pen drive. initially it was getting detected and everything seems fine. i am using a Windows XP machine. after formatting the drive the size gets reduced to a mere 8 MB...

Thanks Trinitron. You got me on the right road. Your link just came up as a blank screen for some reason so with a bit of searching I found another link just in case anyone else had problems.

try to format in NTSF it's too big for FAT (FAT is limited to 4 GB).

TheParoxysm 1Posts Sunday December 7, 2008Registration date March 25, 2011Last seen - Dec 9, 2008 11:47AM

FAT32 is limited to 3 (sometimes 4) gb file size. The actual volume time is limited to 30gb.

Try partitioning it into several different drives if you need FAT or just use NTFS.
