    sandisk cruzer 32G


    My Sandisk Cruzer finally bit the dust on my Windows 7 pro 64-bit computer. But Wait there is
    more..... I went online and started reading about Flash Drives. It seems that different flash
    drives can only beformatted the way the mfg lets it be formatted. For EX: PHY can only be
    formatted "exfat". I don't know the way Verbatim disks can be formatted. The Sandisk seems
    to work for "Fat32".

    So I trotted over to wiffies computer (running Windows 7 pro 32-bit) and formatted the
    Sandisk drive to Fat 32. Copied and Pasted several programs from her computer to the
    Sandisk and it WORKED!!!!
    Went back to my computer running Windows 7 pro 64-bit and the Sandisk worked there.
    Haven't tried it on Windows 10 which I guess will not work. At least I know that I don't
    have tojunk the Sandisk.
    Nothing is ever easy....

    Did you use Diskpart to clean the drive from your wiffie's Windows 7 computer?

    Windows 10 does fine with Fat32. But there does appear to be some difference between 8.1 and Windows 10 regarding these types of drives. I wonder if the new build does the same thing....

    sandisk cruzer 32G


    I have a sandisk cruzer 32gb formatted ntfs and it works fine. I also have a 16gb pny usb formatted FAT and it is OK too.

    I was reading sometime back that cruzers that had some bit setting flipped which made them show as fixed rather than removable media. You could try flipping it back with this lexar "bootit" utility and see if it works http://www.computrogeek.com/2013/06/...load-2013.html - the comments say it works with sandisk but I've not tried it...
