Memory stick size wrong

Go to solution Solved by insayan,

Open command prompt and type in diskpart then list disk, select disk x (where x is the memory stick letter), clean and then the final command create partition primary

This will format the memory stick but should fix it.

My memory stick is formated in NTFS, Its a 4gb SanDisk, but it says its max capacity is 49mb, Whats going on here and how do i fix it?

your sure you formatted your memory stick to NTFS?  :unsure:

If you don't feel good using command prompt, you can format it from windows explored by right clicking on the drive and clicking format. Just make sure you select the right format to format it to.

This would only format the 49mb partition, if you do want to do it in a GUI you can go to computer management>Disk Management and extend/delete the volume there
