Hi,
I have a kingston 128 mb data traveller flash drive. For the few days, it was all right. One day I formatted it on xp as xp wasnt able to read data in it. The storage capacity reduced to 120 mb then. I thought it was b'coz of the format and to confirm it, I again formated the drive which then had the storage capactiy of just 119 mb left. Can anyone help me out how to regain the lost capacity and can it be done ???
Any help greatly appreciated.

Did you Partition it under Disk Management?

Start/Run/ diskmgmt.msc



Also here is an interesting thread on this issue:
