    Hello.
    Does anyone know why after creating the system recovery disk or something like that on the usb in Win 8.1 with a 64GB pendrive only 32 GB was made for me?
    Can it be fixed somehow?
    Aida 64 still sees this flash drive as 64GB.
    I am asking for any help.

    Probably a 32 GB partition was created on it. Look for a partition management program. The rest of the disk should appear as unallocated space.

    You can restore 64GB in Windows from, for example, DMDE.

    If this disk is to be used for what it was created for, then changing the filesystem to ntfs - now it is FAT32 - will eliminate this possibility. If you want the flash drive to fulfill its current function, you must use an external tool * or create another partition (for other data) from the disk management level.
    If you only care about the capacity, you can change the partition and file system with the system commands.


    * Since Windows 2000, the partitioning tool implemented on the system allows the creation of FAT32 partitions of a limited size. For larger than this limit, as exemplified here, the default filesystem is ntfs.

    OK.And you can ask how to do it in Windows 8.1 ?? ;-)

    Do you have any trouble getting to disk management or using ppm on the flash drive icon (and winning the appropriate option from the list)?
    If so, dread to think what would happen if it came to using a "recovery disk".

    In WinXP I would be able to handle it and Win8.1 I take my first steps. So it's hard to be understanding ??

    In XP and Vista, you cannot share pendrive from the disk management level, in Windows 7 probably not either, I do not use newer systems. It is not easier to create an unformatted partition in DMDE and after reconnecting the device, the system itself should ask for formatting.
    Disk management: Winkey + R -> diskmgmt.msc
    Here is another example from DMDE:

    Unless you want this "system recovery disk", then it is a bit more difficult for it to read 2 partitions under Windows, because you would have to force it to detect it as an external disk, not a flash drive, then all options for disks will be available.

    The only person who has written anything about sharing anything like this is you.
    Anyway, this is probably not entirely true, because since in disk management you can choose the size of the partition to be created, the partition will be its result.

    And one more thing - if you do not use systems newer than Windows 7, maybe you should not comment authoritatively eg on the topic "what needs to be done for the recovery drive created on the flash drive to work?

    Of course not.
    After all, under the condition that you "find and show 3 differences" between the drop that you placed in pos. 10 and the one made in XP or Vis.
    So, before the next time you want to use any excuses, please check how embarrassing they are.

    You can see that one partition has been created, and the related with this you should do it to you Kraniec_Internetów in pos. 11 pointed out, and what is done in the same way as in XP and Viscie (and several other versions of Windows).

    64GB Samsung Pendrive - Change the capacity from 64GB to 32GB.

    Unfortunately, these options do not light up.

    Added after 3 [minutes]:

    From what I associate, it was similar even in WinXP with this disk management.
    Better to ask and disgrace yourself than to act as daring and screw up. Whoever asks does not go astray as the old proverb says.

    After all, I wrote that it is impossible, because it treats it as a removable disk, not a local one, so the options will also be unavailable. For pendrives, the options to create partitions and select the size are not available, I have already done this. I have more than one pendrive divided into partitions. On any PC other than my Windows PC, it sees only the first partition, while for me it is all written in the registry, so that it can read the system this specific device (it does not treat it like any other pendrive).
    This 32GB partition is to remain? Do you want one 64GB?

    I would like to restore it to 64GB. Can this be done from Win8.1 ??

    OK. Somehow I managed to restore it, although it shows 61.9 GB, but it's probably some distortions. Thanks for your help and understanding. Best in the new year.
    Regards.

    It shows well. This is due to the capacity being calculated differently. I have a 32GB flash drive with 28.8GB, while 16GB has 14.4GB. 61.9GB is quite a large available capacity anyway. For the same reason, your 1TB drive is 931.39GB.

    In the program, what I previously recommended, you have everything "on hand" given:

    OK, I understand, so she's all right now and as it should be ;-) It only shows that 91.6 MB is in use, but that's probably normal too ;-) .

    Probably because you have probably created an NTFS partition.

    And yes, I created an NTFS partition ;-) .And FAT32 was better to do ??
  • #24 15308626

    NTFS in some cases, FAT32 in others. For example, for example, PS2 does not read pendrive with a partition in NTFS format, and you will not put a file larger than 4GB on FAT32. This is because you have NTFS and the 90MB is also used.

    From the examples on the forum -> NTFS and memory, eg TLC, results in higher failure rate.

    OK. Thank you for all your help and understanding. I have one more question. I wanted to go back to FAT32 from NTFS but all I can do is some exFAT. Can I do something about it or not?

    Hello. The pendrive theoretically works and it returned to its original capacity. I noticed that the ones I have are smaller because 8GB and 16GB are FAT32 and the repaired / restored 64GB somehow is either NTFS or exFAT. In the exFAT file system, unfortunately the car radio does not see the pendrive. Is it possible to restore it to the FAT32 file system ???

    It is possible to do cramps on FAT32 or not and how simple, fast and in points. I am not a professional, as most of them are specialists here, so I ask.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a user experiencing an issue with a 64GB Samsung pendrive that only shows 32GB available after creating a system recovery disk in Windows 8.1. Various responses suggest that a 32GB partition was created, leaving the rest of the space unallocated. Solutions include using disk management tools to create a new volume from the unallocated space, restoring the full capacity using software like DMDE, and changing the file system from NTFS to FAT32 for compatibility with other devices. The user successfully restored the pendrive's capacity but faced challenges in formatting it back to FAT32, as Windows 8.1 only offered NTFS or exFAT options. Recommendations for formatting tools and methods were provided throughout the discussion.
