The USB Key Utility for Windows only lists removable drives with a capacity of less than 33,000 MB by default.
However, in 2025, itโs quite difficult to find a USB drive that small.
You can follow the steps below to remove this unnecessary limitation:
- Download the latest USB Key Utility for Windows v3.0.0.0 from HPE. You donโt need to log in to your account to get it.
- Prepare a hex editor (Iโll use 010 Editor as an example below โ this is not an ad).
- Open usbkey.exe in the hex editor, press Ctrl+G and navigate to offset
0x6D56. Starting from that position, the next 2 bytes should be77 35. - Replace both bytes with
90 90, then save the file.
