How to: Recover volume of Pen drive (USB) that showed greater space and shows lesser space than before

While making a bootable pen drive for Linux using power iso, I found that my USB device just showed 600 Mb space out of 2 Gb. So, I thought many of us might have encountered the same problem and much of us might have thought that the USB drive got damaged. If you think that your USB drive got damaged then it is not the case. Your pen drive must have formatted and made some unallocated space partitioned and the space might seem to have lost.

How to check if my USB disk space got unallocated:
  1.   Right Click my computer and Click Manage.
  2.   From the dashboard again select Disk Management. 
  3.  From the Disk Management check if the USB drive has some unallocated spaces. 
Now How to remove and recover such unallocated spaces:
  1. There are many tools and software available for such task, of them I found  the  Easeus Partition   Manager must handy. Download and install the Easeus Partition Manager on your Computer. 
  2.  Click Here to download the Software.
  3. After you have installed it on your computer, run the software, there you will see that your pendrive just has unallocated spaces.
  4.   Right Click the unallocated space and then select the Create Partition option. 
  5. Then Give the unallocated space some label or Name and then select file format type as NTFS or FAT 32 etc and then finally click ok and then apply the action from top menu bar.
  6. Your disk now should be ready and should show same space as before.
