kingston dt310…how to format
June 23, 2012…The format will be exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table).
Windows XP will require Update for Windows XP KB955704 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19364) to manage exFAT formatted drives.
Download and install it. A reboot is required.
Then open Control Panel,
click on System,
click on Hardware tab,
click on Device Manager,
scroll to IDE/ATAP/Controllers,
left click +,
scroll to and right click Secondary IDE Channel,
left click on Properties,
click on Advanced Properties,
there will be displayed a Device 0 and a Device 1.
in Device 1, select Transfer Mode and select PIO Only.
click OK.
left click My Computer, select the DT310 (it will probably be listed as Removable Disk)
and right click it and select Format.
click Start in the format window.
That’s It.
Now you can use the flash memory like any other memory.

I didn’t know anything about this until I found this page. I bought a Kingston DT310 512GB in Lima, Peru at Cyberplaza in December 2011, with the idea of putting a bunch of data on it and shipping it to a friend. In fact I bought a 32GB Kingston drive at the same time. The 32GB drive works fine, but the 512GB drive doesn’t work. I tried formatting it twice, but it won’t take any significant amount of data before it heats up and fails. On the first read, it showed 512GB of space, but after that it wouldn’t take data (and I thought it was my USB port messing up). I put in another USB port board and had the same result. So I started looking online for others who might have had the same problem and discovered I bought a fake at a store that says they will honor the guarantee. So I will bring it back.
