Why In Properties My local drive says 0 gigabites but disk shows full

if there is no disc in the size is 0 bytes so it will show full, try other disks

Do not use any more and get some data recovery freeware.

control panel admistrive tools,computer management,device manager scroll down universal serial bus controllers you could see a yellow question mark? right click to reinstall drivers or

insert transend pendrive go to control panel administrive tools computer management disk mangement you you can right click select properties tools check now?tick in both boxes to scan for and repair/recover any bad sectors and automaticall fix any corrupt files

hope this helps

Hello Pmtarq, hi, there are two possible bad part, first your hard drive is really bad, you need to reformat your drive, all data will be lost. (this is the common solution) or second the device electronics is bad, you can not do anything if the device fails, all you can do is salvage the hard drive. (this is a long shot, but possible)

try to format the HD using disk management. right click computer select manage then disk manager. look for your external HD and click format.

Hello there yogeshpat876.

Here's your geek-steer ...

Is this a new drive? If so, it probably just needs to be formatted [and optionally assigned to whatever free drive (letter) you desire]:

Start > Run... > tpye "diskmgmt.msc" (without quotes), then OK

Good luck, and please do post back ...

• to let me (and interested others) know how things worked out,
• to provide clarification or feedback,
• if you have ANY further questions.

Today's the best day of my life ... and NOW you're part of it!

I would first put it through a fast formatte then a standard formatte, then i would recommend asector scan and see if there are any sectors that are not recoverable, if they are messed up and or still not solved try to uninstall the file that has stored the recognition files for the pen drive remove the main file in c drive program files , find the file by name corresponding to what it is you have and delet it then do a full shutdown and after a full cold start reboot install pen and software when asked if you still experience this post the results and i will try to help in a higher level of tech knowledge and support

In the explorer make sure you can view hidden files. (Tools>folder options)

Check the file sizes of each file by mousing over. Add them all up manually. Is this the size of the disk ?

If the total size is not the full storage size copy over to the PC> format the drive and drop them back on.

First u should format disk from disk management mmc snap or from command prompt.without formatting a disk's properties says 0 bytes used and 0 bytes free space.
