Corrupted files on cruzer micro 4gb

Every time I load files onto my usb stick and try to open them again, it gives me all these weird errors such as the file is corrupted, unknown error, etc. It suggests formatting my drive but when I try to it says i don't have sufficient rights to do that. There were some files on the stick when i got it but I got rid of them.

Due to the U3 technology, i.e. the files you deleted which were on the drive when you got them, you may have caused the drive to malfunction because the U3 software was not uninstalled, but rather deleted.

Please attempt to reinstall the U3 software on the Sandisk website, named "U3 Launchpad Installer"
which can be found at this link: http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/DriverDownloads.aspx

If you are still having problems, either reinstalling the software or with corrupt files, please report any errors exactly as you see them.

Hello, I have Sandisk Cruzer blade 4 gb pendrive. But now it shows I/O error while copying data to it. please give a solution.

Copy all the files from it to your 'C:' drive, and burn the files to one DVD-recordable disk.
Then, responsibly recycle the SanDisk, and spend $10 to buy a new flash-drive.
Copy the files from the 'C:' drive, or the DVD disk onto the new flash-drive.
Keep multiple copies of your files, just in case this "new" flash-drive also "fails".

I have a 32GB sandisk cruzer stick. I've used what is called diskpart in Windows 7 to select and format the stick in fat32. I'll take it to a Windows XP box and try to drop a substantial size file to...

Sorry but you wont be able to put a file larger than 4gb due to file format limitation since you used fat32. only NTFS supports files larger than 4gb. if you want to use it with large files you need to format again using NTFS. hope that helps!

WinXP uses its own driover for USB drives like this so as long as you have the latest updates installed that should be OK.

Make sure you are doing nothing else with the computer when transferring the file.

Check and make sure you have at least double the amount of free hard disk space as you are transferring.

Reformat the flash disk completely and tyhen run a checkdisk on it specifying to report and fix all errors.

Try defragmenting the hard drive so temporary files can be laid down contiguously.

See if there is a BIOS update for your motherboard.

How to use flash drive

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.
