Tell us the procedure so that we can make our 2gb pen drive into 4.7 gb.

Did you format it with NTFS with compression and add data to it?

If not, the drive needs to be reformatted as this happens only when data gets corrupted. I have had such problems with faulty flash memory cards
(once a 256 mb card was showing 1gig. It died soon after. RIP :'((
:sniff: It cost me 2k back then)
