USB drive not showing all capacity

If you have a USB that's only showing 2GB but should be more, use the steps below to restore it to it's size...

If you can't get the full capacity of your USB drive back with the Lexar tool (I couldn't with a Patriot Memory X-Mini 8GB), you can use DISKPART from Vista/Win7 to do so. Warning: DISKPART is dangerous - do not use if you don't feel comfortable with it! Insert your USB disk, make sure it is recognized by Windows (with the lower capacity), and then do the following:

1) Type "DISKPART" from the Command Prompt (accessible by clicking on Start and then typing "cmd" into the open field); you will then see the following prompt: DISKPART>
2) Type "LIST DISK" to see what number your USB drive is listed as.
3) Type "SELECT DISK 2" (if your USB is disk 2; replace # with your disk #); Diskpart will confirm that "Disk 2 is now the select disk."
4) Type "SELECT PARTITION 1" (this command selects what should be the only partition on your USB drive, the small one that you want to delete to get back the larger, full partition size). Diskpart will confirm with "Partition 1 is now the selected partition."
5) Type "DELETE PARTITION".
6) Type "CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY" - " You can type in "LIST PARTITION" to confirm the new, full-size.
7) Type "EXIT" to leave Diskpart. You can now format your USB drive by using the standard Windows formatting process.

iPhone DFU not working - solved!

Hi there,

if you've been jailbreaking your iPhone and made a mistake, it can be tough to get it back to DFU mode to restore it. However, thankfully the steps below work (have faith!)

While the iPhone is plugged in and connected to iTunes:

Press the Home button
Press the on button (with the home button still pressed down)
Hold both buttons for 10 seconds
Let go of the on button, keep the Home button down (keep both buttons pressed for as long as you need)
You should then get into DFU mode
