SANDISK 32GB USB FLASH DRIVE
Things to try: -
1. Look in Control Panel/Computer Management/Storage/Disk Management and see if it appears. Check the drive letter if not there changer it.
2. Unplug any eternal drives and then plug the disk in. I have experienced where the drive letter is reserved.
3. Try it in another computer particularly one that has an inbuilt reader.
4. If this fails download Testdisk and see if it recognised. You can fix boot sectors and bad sectors with this.
My card won't work on my computer, what is wrong?
When you format the card, be sure to do it in the camera, as the camera firmware writes hidden files to the card.
When you insert the card into the card reader, be sure to set write-protect, so the contents cannot be corrupted.
I suspect what may have happened is that at some point there has been a conflict between files written to the card by the camera and the computer.

It may be a correct physical size (SD card) but other factors also matter - un-supportted file system (SDXC is exFAT) - max addressable space (gb) by the device - support speed (Class #) see
Speed Class SD Association - higher processors for Ultra Hi Def recording at higher frames will need higher speedMy suggestion is (a) verify if your camera has a newer firmware that could support high capacity. if not...(b) do not format on the camera because it may limit it in size.(c) use this 64gb on other device like laptop.(d) sell it on ebayPrefer newer memory format like MicroSD with microSD adaptor/ holders
