w.r.t this post [link]
and user "jigsaw":
Utilities: 1) Read the memory when connected to USB. Click "App Choice" if button is active.
2) set memory capacity and other settings. By default, it should already be in real values. The "Capacity Adjust" and "Fixed Capacity" should be unchecked.
3) Hit the "Run" button to finalize it. If programmed successfully, unplug the flash drive and may require reformatting.
