Flash drive mutation?

An unfortunate flash drive nearby is showing this symptom:

Its a 512MB flash drive, but any PC its plugged into shows it as a "Floppy drive with 1.44MB".

I have no idea how this could be. I scanned it with my arsenal of AVG antivirus, AVG antispyware, Kaspersky online scan (after uninstalling the AVG duo) and Kaspersky antivirus. All have shown no threats on board. The flash drive works well only that it has room for only 1.44MB or as others have shown, 1.38MB. Can anyone diagnose my problem and offer a remedy that can restore this flash drive back to its 512MB capacity? Thanx a million.

Have you formatted the drive?

It is possible that the drive has been accidentally formatted as a floppy instead of a 512mb drive.

Try reformatting the drive, check the options to see if the full capacity is available.

If not, contact the manufacturer's website and contact their support centre by email for a possible solution or replacement.
you may have bought a counterfeit flash drive there are a lot of them about.
