Click start control panel administrative tools computer management disk management right click on your drive select properties click tools you should see click check now click start two boxes
automatically fix files and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors place then a tick in both boxes then select check now start
you might tick one box then return after its finished the first repair then return and tick the second box you should not do anything while the chkdsk utility is in progress any input may damage this drive
I found that you get best results by ticking one box then returning after it has finished then tick the other box
then you might have restore it to its default status

Right click on usb drive select properties you will have an array of options

Select the hardware option then select your drive properties policies

restore defaults

In XP

Right click on your drive select properties then on customize restore Default in W 7

I have purchased Sandisk 4gb pendrive & it as soon it is attached to computer it get very hot & data processing speed get reduce...

If you have purchased your pen drive under warranty and it is still under warranty then replace it as early as possible because your pen drive will be totally damaged after some time
Because every pen drive has a media on which it stores data , problem like this occurs only when media is low and it will not work after some time.So my advise is just replace the device as fast as possible.

Thanks.
Have a great day.

Data size reduced

Thats bad. Looks like you drive is over populated with bad sectors. I had a similar problem with my drive sometime ago and formatting it has fixed the issue. Lets just hope that it has not developed physical bad sectors(internally damaged in some way)

Pendrive write protection removing

Hey, the transcend pen drives usually have a small switch on the side of it, ie to turn the write protect on and off, usually a small lock symbol on it, the problem with unreadable files names etc, could be a corrupt partition, i would suggest formatting the drive as long as you aint got any important information on it,

All the best
