Solve : Memory storage stick won't open?

Answer»

Any tricks to get it to display it's contents? It's a Sandisk 4 gig micro cruzerWhen you say it wont open, do you mean you cannot see it in "My Computer"? Try going into disk management and see if it shows up there. If it does try changing the drive letter.I just noticed that it's light is going from normal to dim. Is that an indicator of it failing?ARe you using front or rear USB ports?It shows it's letter designation, it just won't show it's contents when clicked on.Rear and am using a hub as well.Try it without the hub. I have seen issues using HUBS and also with using front ports. Did you look in disk management?I haven't looked in disk management yet. The setup I have has been working well for over two YEARS though.Right click "My computer" then go to "Manage". Then click on "Disk Management" on the left-hand side. Oh the right-hand side you should see your drives. In there your FLASH drive should be listed. Do you see it in there? If so, try right click and clicking "change drive letter". Change it to "Z" or something and see if you can access it.It appears that I've lost all of the content on the drive even though I WENT through the safely eject procedure. I'm going to try and see if it is still usable. I made a false statement in another post, it wasn't the 4 gig stick that had it's light dimming and brightening ( very slowly) it was the 16 gig stick. It was doing it while no ACTIVITY going on.I just have to ask. Are you a shrimp loveing man? I had this happen to me before with a differnt one. Its shown potential faliure from what you said, I recommen getting something like recuva if you cant see the drive at all. It may be possible to save it if your able to get the data off but its like a 50% chance if you wantedd too.Bubba,
Does the drive work on other computers?Quote from: squall_01 on June 05, 2009, 09:11:22 PM
