you can try some data recovery software. You can see
Recover data from memory card
It tells the steps how to perform data recovery.


If above does not work, you may have to format the memory card (use quick format), and then use above mentioned software to scan again the memory card and recover your files.

You need to format it as NTFS because FAT32 (your current flash drive file system) doesn't support files bigger than 1GB.

Format it again, and choose HPFS, instead of FAT32.

go to my computer, plug the drive in, right click the flash drive icon on my computer and click format.

Have you tried a virus scan. if not try that, if the problem still appears, boot your pc in safe mode, and format vai that route.

Make sure you are logged in as an administrator. I'd also try the thumb drive in a different computer just to make sure the problem isn't with the thumb drive itself. The drive could also be unformatted, or formatted with a filesystem for a different platform that can't be read by XP.

1. right click on my computer then manage
2. click on disk management then right click on the drive which you want to format then click format it will forcely format your card.

There might be a hidden file(s) on the drive that are taking up that space. Open the drive in My Computer, click Tools > Folder Options... On the View tab, click Show hidden files and folders. Then check the drive to see if any hidden files or folders are present.

You can also try formatting the drive. Right click the drive in My Computer and click Format...
