USB Stick won't show full storage Win7

I have a Verbatim 8GB Store'n'Go usb stick that is only letting me see and use ~780MB of storage. I've been slowly battling to recover the drive for a year and have run out of ideas. I've tried reformating it through explorer, re-partitioning through diskpart, re-partitioning through bootice, and probably other tools I cannot recall and had no luck. Here are a few screenshots from my results. I've browsed many forums without solutions. Any idea how I could possibly recover this drive to it's factory settings and storage capacity?

Background: I used this drive many years ago in college for projects (mainly Mac OS) and afterwards reformated and once used it for a transfer of xbox data. Since then I haven't used it for storage but I'm fairly certain I removed the xbox data and re-formated it for storage. I may have attempted making a boot disk with rufus at some point on it but I don't think I ever got around to actually trying. Either way, the storage is missing on all systems. When finding the link I noticed it has a "password security feature" available for download? I don't recall ever using such a feature and have never been prompted for a password.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
