    Repair or Reflash USB drive

    Hello to all,
    I have bought a Kingston 256gb usb which has turned out to be fake, I used the program h2testw 1.4 to check it and it confirmed 143 mb.
    I tried programs that say they can repair it with no real success
    Is there a program in that can repair the usb drive.

    Thanks in advance,
    David.

    A) Linux Operating Systems

    There isn’t a software to help you identify the VID or PID we are aware of for Linux that works like Chip Genuis. In fact it is not necessary according to people who repaired fake memory cards. So skip to step three.
