Jim K Global Moderator Posted March 29, 2022 Global Moderator Share Posted March 29, 2022 Did you get scammed? Where did you get them? Have you formatted them?

Brandon H Supervisor Posted March 29, 2022 Supervisor Share Posted March 29, 2022 check disk management to make sure they don't have multiple partitions. you may also be able to reset them better with Rufus compared to windows formatting tool. there's also the possibility you got scammed and they're not legit drives like Jim mentioned Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1416759-2-sandisk-flash-drives-only-showing-249mb-available-out-of-16gb/#findComment-598722916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Global Moderator Posted March 29, 2022 Global Moderator Share Posted March 29, 2022 Yeah, I think there are two partitions on those. Where did you buy them from?

bikeman25 Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Bought from Amazon, Think i figured it out or i hope lol, one had multiple paritions, one was a memtest86 usb, and i remade it after running diskpart, clean on it for second one, and 249mb exactly again. So think figured out the cause, possibly had both set as memtest boot flash drives at first Cleaned both with Diskpart full restored 14gb on Utlites one 249mb for the Memtest86 one after creating that One is now Utlities flash drive and One is Memtest86 test usb Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1416759-2-sandisk-flash-drives-only-showing-249mb-available-out-of-16gb/#findComment-598723019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
