I can't launch SanDisk Cruzer 8GB & 16GB pendrive U3 system in Windows 10 and it come out message as above. Please help.

:)

 

sandisk cruzer 32G


I have 3 SanDisk Cruzers, all 16GB and they work fine with 10. They show up as

SanDisk Cruzer USB Device under Disk Drives in Device Manager.

 

SanDisk 64GB Cruzer Glider Flash Drive

Did you follow the first link posted by @Barman58 "Cruzer Flash Drive not detected by Windows" One suggestion is to check Device Manager for device exclamation mark, if so refresh / uninstall the driver. I have a 128 GB Sandisk Cruzer, I'm not impressed by it's performance.

U3 Software... What is that?

U3 is a company producing a proprietary method of auto-launching applications from specially formatted USB flash drives. Flash drives adhering to the U3 specification are termed "U3 smart drives". U3 smart drives come preinstalled with the U3 Launchpad, which looks similar to the Windows OS start menu and controls program installation. The method works with recent Microsoft Windows systems only. Applications which comply with U3 specifications are allowed to write files or registry information to the host computer, but they must remove this information when the flash drive is ejected. Customizations and settings are instead stored with the application on the flash drive.

If you really don't need this software, there's a nifty removal tool on sandisk's website to get rid of it.

TESTING

Since i don't have a plethora of flash drives laying around, i'll have to compare it to the only thing i have on hand wich is my good old 4Gb Sandisk Cruzer Titanium. Here's a pic of the too. Notice how big the Contour is compared to the Titanium.





I'm going to use HDtach 3.0.4 for speed testing comparison with some file writing tests. I'm not going to do a washer/dryer test nor will i run over them with my car. Are you crazy!!!

PERSONNAL NOTES AND CONCLUSION

Wow. This this is very classy. When you plug it in, the "Cruzer" lettering lights up blue and flashes during operation. The "Reveal & Conceal" connector sliding thingy is so amazingly wicked. No caps to loose! It comes with a handy padded leather carrying sleeve. I love it!

It is does feel faster than my older drive for it's size. 16GB will hold plenty of stuff. the only negative thing that i can say about it wich is stupid, is that the glossy finish will leave fingerprints. I paid 80$ (Can) at Newegg it.

This thing *Rockout :rockout:
