How to FIX Fake 32 GB Kingston Pendrive (Thumb Drive)

fIXING Fake 32 GB Kingston Pendrive (Thumb Drive)

Yesterday I purchased a 32 GB Kingston Pendrive Which I found out to be fake one.
It shows & formats (32 GB Full Capacity) in Windows Explorer (windows xp, Vista)
wihout any error.

In order to fix it & know its Actual Capacity I ran some programes.
Now the problem is : It only shows 8 MB and windows cannto format it.


I googled and found some tools but thet didnt work :

Tools Used :
PDx8_2k_v327.exe (PortFree Production Program version 3.27. [Flash Disk test.zip]) - Which actual did bad i think.

MPTool-2007103-Fix-Usb-key :- Did not detect the pendrive
UdTools1.0.4.6_20081010 :- Did not detect the pendrive

ChipGenius.exe :- Gave the following result :
Device Name: +[J:]+USB Mass Storage Device(Generic Flash Disk 2.0 USB Device)

PnP Device ID: VID = 2000 PID = 2008
Serial Number: 6&&C7FC0C7&&0&&2
Revision: 2.80

Device Type: Standard USB device - USB2.0 High-Speed

Chip Vendor: micov(???)
Chip Part-Number: MXT6208

Product Vendor: Generic
Product Model: Flash Disk 2.0

Tools on Web: http://bbs.mydigit.cn/read.php?tid=16769


I also opned the USB Pendrive Plastic Case & found the following Chip Number (Controler Number I think) : - HUC2168
HISUN
IPL04803.3
08HT0724
The number is different than the one shown by CHIPGENIUS.

Now How do I fix it :
1) Either to its Original State 32 GB (showed & formated well)
2) Or to its ACTUAL CAPACITY (Which is for shore >= 1 GB)
