Hello, I've just bought a SanDisk Cruzer USB flash drive with 16 GB of capacity. It's quite fancy in many ways, looks slick, nifty little slider to park the connector, shiny little red light, fantastic U3 applications that I'll never use. Which is all well, but in regards to its primary function which is data storage I'm finding it absolutely appalling. The reason I bought such a big USB drive in the first place was because I needed to store an 8 gigabyte file on it, and when I try to transfer this file over it tells me that the disk is full. It's not full, as a matter of fact it's completely empty with windows seeing and recognizing 14.9 gigabytes of free space on it. SanDisk USB drive not working in Windows 10 (which was working fine last week) My SanDisk USB drive which was working fine last week is not working now in Windows 10. Have important files in my usb drive. Any solution for this? Tried with 2 usb drives, both are not working. Unable to format Sandisk Cruzer Blade 32GB USB Flash Drive tried all the possible ways like go to drive management and then format tried to format via CMD no result also. What can I do USB just. At first I thought it might be all that U3 junk on it so I formatted the drive: no difference. I reinstalled all the U3 jazz and started looking for a file transfer section or a write protect option somewhere, no luck. So I've reformatted the drive again since I'm not interested in any of the U3 utilities. Sandisk Format Utility DownloadSandisk Thumb Drive Unable To FormatI just want a functional 16 (or 14.9) GBs worth of storage on this USB drive. The most I've been successful in copying has been 1.5 gigabytes. Any help would be appreciated. I'm running on XP SP2. I have a scandisk cruzer 16gb thumb drive. I am having a problem with mine and can't seem to format it. I tried to move files to it and it failed. But now the disk shows that there is no free space. ![]() I have vista. I was able to get to a command prompt and tried doing a format f: /fs:NTFS it came up with the following messages: insert new disk for drive f: and press ENTER when ready. So i press enter because the stick is already in but it comes up with the following error message: Error in IOCTL call. When i try to just pull the drive up in Explorer window and right click it to do format. It never comes up with a window or anything to change to NTFS or do anything, nothing happens at all. Any help you could give me would be sooo much appreciated. Please help I can't return it and I need to be able to store stuff on it. USB devices do not like NTFS format - ever. Decreases the life of USB too much(4gb, 8gb, 16gb). After messing around with ex-fat and NTFS, I've decided to leave pen dives at FAT-32 for a good reason. It's fine for a pen drive to take a while reading/writing - just know it's doing it properly. NTFS is for real disk drives only and ex-fat is for old pen drives commercing large files to a newer computer. Metro tap card application.
