Drive help

Sometimes a USB drive will show a lower number of bytes than the amount purchased. This can happen whenever I copy a *.bin file to the drive using imageUSB. For example when I copy HBCD.bin to DRV_H it can reduce a 16 or 32 Gig drive down to only 4 Gig. If the USB drive is no longer needed as a HBCD and you wish to regain its full capacity follow the steps below. From a CMD prompt as administrator type:

DISKPART

List available disk numbers:
> LIST DISK

Select a specific disk number:
> SELECT DISK <disk number>

Select a specific disk number, example 7 for DRV_H (make sure this is correct):
> SELECT DISK 7

Show details about the selected disk:
> DETAIL DISK

List partition numbers on the selected disk:
> LIST PARTITION

Select a specific partition on the disk if necessary:
> SELECT PARTITION <partition number>

Select a specific partition on the disk, example:
> SELECT PARTITION 2

Show details about the selected partition:
> DETAIL PARTITION

Erase the partition (very dangerous):
> CLEAN

Create a new partition:
> CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

Exit DISP PART:
EXIT

Now format the new partition on the DRV_H:
