    My USB drive capacity was originally 128mb. but it gradually decreased until now, 123m. re-formatting doesn't work, so i tried to delete then undeleted the partition using Partition Magic. but it only got worse. now, all left is 122mb. is there any way to fix it?

    i'll appreciate any help, thank you.

    as kadavill said above, this is most likely normal as when you format some space is lost due to the overheads eg, file tables etc

    if its a 128mb USB drive then that will be the unformatted space.
