i have a sandisk cruzer micro 4gb aka...


i got it from my friend who bought a 8gb

he has vista, i have xp

but when i put it in my pc, go to my computer>click on the removable disk (F
it says The Disk in drive F is not formatted
Do you want to format it now?

so i have nothing to love in there, so i click yes

gives me this:



(it says 64mb, but its actually a 4gb wat happened?)

but watever combination of options i choose and format i always get
the disk in drive F cannot be formatted

so i go to computer management> disk management
and when i try to format there i get:



it doesnt let me delete the partition either

Try the drive on a different system, see if you get different behavior. It may simply be bad. FWIW, I believe SanDisk has a lifetime warranty, so you can send it back if it's really dead.

I have had some problems in reading larger SD chips on my laptop running XP. For whatever reason, if I put it into a USB reader, it will read fine Go figure.
