Hello,

I formatted one of my USB drives to change the file system.
Since then, it appears twice in This PC, with two different letters.

And it doesn't have the same amount of storage...

I tried reformatting it, no changes.

Is this a Windows issue?

Thank you!

Hello,

Use Kill Disk Suite Free

A drive between >2 and 32Gb must be at least FAT32

Hi,

Because your USB drive is partitioned into two.
Look at the sizes, they are not the same.

You can delete the partition from disk management and then expand the other one to have just one.

If you have important data, back them up first.

Thank you for the response!

I have successfully deleted one of the two partitions, but I cannot enlarge the other, the button is grayed out...

It seems that it's normal for the Windows manager to make this impossible, but it worked with MiniTool Partition.

Thank you both ;)
