I have a 32GB Sandisk Cruzer Flash drive when I connected it to my PC it read 14MB. What went wrong and How can I fix it?

If you have used this drive previously, you may need to format it correctly for your use. If you're using Windows, flash drives are typically formatted in exFAT or FAT32. If you are going to use this drive between Mac OS X/Windows/Linux, exFAT will allow all operating systems to read/write on the drive. If this is a Windows USB drive, FAT32 should be fine for your needs. If you need to store files larger than 2GB, choose NTFS.

To format the drive, you can open up the Computer menu and right click on the drive. SanDisk has a great tutorial here. Note that even though your drive may have a physical 32GB capacity, the entire 32GB will never be available due to the way the hardware is configured so that it can be read by an operating system.
