| | What brand is it and how long have you had it? Reason I ask is if it is brand new, you may have gotten a fake high capacity flash drive. |

| | Try following this Tutorial: USB Windows 7 Installation Key Drive - Create Omit Step 10 and finish with Step 16. Note that Step 7 may take some time to complete. Please be patient. You might be better of omitting the quick option in Step 11 (in other words, just use format fs=ntfs). |

| | figured it out fellas . apparently the software used to make it a bootable usb had put a cap on its maximum size and made it completely undetectable to other formatting utilities . A small button "reset flash drive" did the trick. Even Kingston Support had no idea. thankyou all for helping :-) |

| | Glad you've resolved your problem. Quite why a cap would be put on the size by the software in question is a mystery. |
