It sounds like your media is malfunctioning (controller issue).
If you format the drive, the data will be wiped. If you need to recover the data first, it is possible.
Our company, LC Technology, is the only Sandisk-approved

for over 5 years. You simply have to send your media to us.
Our technicians will recover your files on CDs and return everything
within 48h. You just need to send us your Sandisk with this form:

There is a charge for this service, but ONLY if we
are successful. The pricing is on the form. Please note
that the chances of recovery are around 90%.

This happens from time to time, when the software becomes corrupted that handles the drive.
Be advised that if you format it, you will for sure lose your data.
It is recommended to take this device to a professional pc technician or retail store to get assistance.
Last ditch effort at home is to restart your pc, and see if it was a one time glitch.
