Reformat Fake USB Drive to RealSize

[Dudefoxlive]

Hi, my aunt purchased a USB drive that says it is 128 GB for $5 and i tested it to find out it is only 8GB.  i need a program to reformat it to its real size.  Can someone provide it?  the information is

VID = 048D PID = 1234

You can't have what isn't there.  The drive is most probably only 8Gb and unfortunately she got scammed.  The easiest and best way to find out is to use something like this:

And it's FREE.

 

Good Luck

i know there are programs that will do it.

I would be more concerned about what else is on the drive. Formatting the drive doesn't always remove everything so be very cautious about using a USB drive from a shady seller that lied about the capacity.

SDFormatter is useful for formatting drives back to their original state. I use it on my drives that have been used for installers as they often show up as the wrong size after. 

 

Though, if she bought a 128GB drive for $5, it's almost certainly not actually 128GB.
