Hey there! @sirton, 

Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!

I understand that your flash drive is showing incorrect size.

Please try the following steps mentioned below.

1.Plug in your pen drive
2.Type diskmgmt.msc in Run box to open Disk Management.
3.Select your drive’s partition.
4.Right-click on it and select the option of “Delete Volume” in it.
5.This will delete the memory space allocated and free up the total space.
6.Now in the empty space created again right click and select “Create Volume” to create the space.
7.Select the file system and format the partition to be able to use it again.

If the above steps do not work try the steps mentioned below.

Click start type CMD in the search box.

Right click CMD run as administrator.

Type the following commands.
diskpart
list disk
select disk 1
list partition
clean
list partition
create partition primary
list partition
format fs=fat32 quick
list partition
exit

I will watch for your reply!

Cheers! 🙂
