Pendrive showing only 2 mb

My 16 GB kingston pen drive is now showing available memory as 2mb of 2mb.
It started after my friend installed linux os into it.

This is because the partitions has changed. @Abhiram Shibu

Can i fix it??

Yes you can! @Abhiram Shibu knows how to!

This is due to windows unable to manage partitioned flash drives.
To solve this issue

  1. Open a CMD as administrator ( click on start, type CMD, right click on cmd, run as administrator)
  2. Type list disks (Find the disk with 16 gb capacity eg disk 1)
  3. Type select disk 1 (In this example disk 1 is the target)
  4. Type clean (Warning: this will erase all data in disk)
  5. Type create partition primary (A new partition will be created)
  6. Reconnect usb drive, u will be prompted to format it.
  7. Format and enjoy 16gb goodness…

I hope that fixed it
