The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

fIXING Fake 32 GB Kingston Pendrive (Thumb Drive)

Yesterday I purchased a 32 GB Kingston Pendrive Which I found out to be fake one.
It shows & formats (32 GB Full Capacity) in Windows Explorer (windows xp, Vista)
wihout any error.

  In order to fix it & know its Actual Capacity I ran some programes.
Now the problem is : It only shows 8 MB and windows cannto format it.


I googled and found some tools but thet didnt work :

Tools Used :
PDx8_2k_v327.exe (PortFree Production Program version 3.27. [Flash Disk test.zip]) - Which actual did bad i think.

MPTool-2007103-Fix-Usb-key :- Did not detect the pendrive
UdTools1.0.4.6_20081010 :-  Did not detect the pendrive

ChipGenius.exe :- Gave the following result :
      Device Name: +[J:]+USB Mass Storage Device(Generic Flash Disk 2.0 USB Device)

      PnP Device ID: VID = 2000 PID = 2008
      Serial Number: 6&&C7FC0C7&&0&&2
      Revision: 2.80

      Device Type: Standard USB device - USB2.0 High-Speed

      Chip Vendor: micov(???)
      Chip Part-Number: MXT6208

      Product Vendor: Generic
      Product Model: Flash Disk 2.0

      Tools on Web:  http://bbs.mydigit.cn/read.php?tid=16769


I also opned the USB Pendrive Plastic Case & found the following Chip Number (Controler Number I think) : - HUC2168
                    HISUN
                IPL04803.3
                08HT0724
   The number is different than the one shown by CHIPGENIUS.

Now How do I fix it :
1)  Either to its Original State 32 GB (showed & formated well)
2)  Or to its ACTUAL CAPACITY (Which is for shore >= 1 GB)

Please Help
