Getting a flash drive working on PC after using on TV

JPGow18 — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 20:13:09 GMT

Hey everyone,

I have a Sony KDL 32EX524, I used my Kingston DataTraveler 200 for recording live TV, I registered the drive to the TV used it and then unregistered it from the TV so I could use it on my laptop again but when I plug it into my laptop it asks to reformat it but it only recognises the drive as having 0.99MB on a 32GB drive, when I plug it back into the TV and register it again it has the same capacity as before.

Any help would be appreciated,

JP Gow

Some Kingston memory has a built in launch.exe software or so which sometimes cause conflict or protect data erase

You may try to re format the memory ((using windows explorer)) to NTFS or exFAT , then re-format again to FAT32 and see what will happen

the only other thing stopping you is its write protected and you need to remove it.

failing that, send it back to kingston under its 5 year warranty.
