I am looking at Acronin Disk Suite to be able to re-format my Flash Drive.
Will the Suite Let me Re-Size my drive?

What I have is a USB 2.0 Flash Drive from Cipsbnk my driver Software says
But the Drive is only Formated for 512mb But the Stamp on the Drive say's
that it is a 2gb drive.

Can your software reset the size of my drive letting me use the rest of the
space on the Drive.

Thank you
Jim

If Windows can't format the flash drive to full capacity, I don't know if DD could.

What does it show in Windows Disk Management?

Perhaps a small partition was created on the drive. Windows will only see the first partition.

I have used DD on my flash drives successfully. DD booted from the rescue cd in safe mode will also treat my flash drive as a regular hard drive (this depends on the computer's BIOS). DD will also let you work with multiple partitions on a flash drive.
