Recently I got a 16 GB USB Drive. But it allows only upto 3.78 GB. The rest are corrupted. Even formatting didn't help. I tried few utility tools. But still the same.
Is there any way that I could recover it, any tool or any suggestions please.
Tell me more

I suggest you download GParted Live CD and look if there's a weird corrupted sets of partitions in your USB drive. It's highly recommended that you erase all the partitions from there. And format it with FAT32 (or whichever you like). Boot up your OS, and if it's Windows, it might ask you to reformat it, and yes do it. |

What is your drive format? Windows FAT32 file system only allows files up to 4Gig in size. Try reformat to NTFS. |

Format the disk as NTFS, not FAT. As Cody mentioed above the maximum file size you can store on a FAT partition is ~4GB. |
