Windows 10: Extend/cancel partition on a 4GB pendrive

How can I extend/cancel partition on a 4GB pendrive M: in order to use its full capacity? The formatting tool declares now only 128KB, FAT, 512 byte! Otherwise I will throw it away.Thanks and regards

:)

 

Kingston 4GB Pendrive do not work any more.

When I insert my pendrive in Laptop or Desktop PC, it shows on in My Computer but when I try to open it, it says " Please insert disk into USB Drive". When I right click on the drive and want to format, it says there is no disk in the drive. When I go into Disk Management- it shows no media and Change Drive Letter and Eject are greyed out. Properties shows as 0 space.
Tried using third party Partitioning Softwares but they do not show the drive at all.
Also tried Diskpart to clean the drive but it shows- no disk.
Please help me repairing this pendrive. Please advise step by step method.
Thanking you in anticipation

How to extend C partition

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for the information provided.

Please to inform you that you need to have an “unallocated disk space” to the right of the Partition\Volume you wish to extend on the same drive. Only when “unallocated disk space” is available “extend” option is highlighted.

I suggest you to try these steps and check if they helps.

Step1: Press Windows + R and Diskmgmt.msc and try the following

a. Right click the basic volume want to extend.

b. Click extend volume.

c. Follow the instruction on the screen.

Step2: Open a command prompt and type diskpart.

At the DISKPART prompt, type list volume. Make note of the basic volume you want to extend.

At the DISKPART prompt, type select volume <volumenumber>. This selects the basic volume volumenumber that you want to extend into contiguous, empty space on the same disk.

At the DISKPART prompt, type extend [size=<size>]. This extends the selected volume by size megabytes (MB).

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

 

Extending partitions

For some reason there's a 5gb unallocated space on my Velociraptor and I can't seem to extend it on the primary partition. And I thought disk management was a phail.
