turn off your computer then eject it

I can help you with your Sandisk Cruzer USB drive problem.

Sandisk Cruzer's are fairly unique in so far as they don't just appear in your My Computer window the way that every other USB drive I've ever used does.

Instead, Sandisk Cruzer's use a terribly 'helpful' piece of software that takes time to load every time you plug it in.

Here are the steps:

1. Plug in your Sandisk Cruzer USB drive.
2. Sit back and wait. Don't touch anything.
3. If it is connected properly, the 'slide' bit will light up orange, at first flashing, eventually solid.
4. When the orange Sandisk logo appears on your desktop, the drive is ready to use.
5. Clicking on the Sandisk logo will bring up a menu.
6. Click the 'Explore Drive' option to bring up a windows explorer screen of the USB drive.
7. When you are done with the Cruzer, return to the Sandisk Menu App and select 'Eject' to prepare the USB drive for removal. (Just pulling it out without 'ejecting' it will destroy all your data 1 time out of 50 or 100, so always use the eject feature.)

I hope that helps.

If you use windows 7 to safely remove the drive and it tells you that it's fine to do so then you're ok.

The reason you do this is because if there's any files still being used by Windows when you pull the drive, you could damage those files or even the file system. When you safely remove the device you're telling Windows to stop any and all connections with the device. Even if the light is still on, if Windows is telling you it's ok, then it means that it's no longer being used by any programs or the OS

Have you tried a virus scan. if not try that, if the problem still appears, boot your pc in safe mode, and format vai that route.

This Cruzer driver package for the SanDisk Cruzer Micro is needed only for Windows 98. Windows Me, 2000 and XP already have the driver (if you are having trouble using the drive on these systems, then it is likely to be a conflict or problem in Windows - see the Windows Device Manager and Windows Help file for details).

After you download the Cruzer driver file, unzip the contents and click setup.exe to begin. Importantly, you should restart Windows 98 so the new Cruzer drivers can properly load into your system. Next, plug in the Cruzer drive and Windows will finish the installation. Restart your computer if needed.

Cruzer's run a program when they install and should appear on the screen as a red Cruzer icon. If you click on this when you want to remove the you can then select the Eject tab on the bottom of the Cruzer popup. Use this rather than the windows eject which does not work too well.

Cruzer Micro is an USB external memory where you can store files.
It is automatically detected and installed on all Windows OS from Windows 2000 onward, same on Mac OS and recent Linux versions.
All you have to do is plugging the device into USB.
After the flash drive had been automatically installed , it will be displayed under Computer as an external disk.
You can copy and transfer files using Cut, Copy and Paste functions, or Send to function in windows, or the file manager, depending on the OS used.
In Windows, before unplugging the memory from USB , it is better to turn off the computer or use the 'safely remove USB' function located near to the clock, on the lower right hand corner.
