  1. Strange behaviour with SanDisk USB Stick


    My SanDisk usb 3.0 stick for some reason doesn't open correctly

    I insert it into a USB 3 port on the PC and nothing happens

    Using file explorer,open D: internal drive,click on explorer on left side of Window G: USB and the search engine searches D: when it ends the SanDisk usb drive window opens

    How can I get round this Wacky behaviour?

    I have another USB stick,Adata which opens as soon as I plug it in

    Appreciate any help Thanks

  2. Sandisk USB unable to connect on Windows 10 computer

    Hi

    Thank you for your quick reply. My computer does read other USB sticks as I've tried a couple. I will try what you suggested tomorrow at work and see if I can reformat the sandisk USB. I tried the sandisk in another Windows 10 laptop and didn't work on that
    one either. Will let you know if your suggestion works. Thanks.

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    Step By Step from vista:
    From admin cmd prompt

    1. diskpart
    1a. list disk
    2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

    xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk

    Strange behaviour with SanDisk USB Stick

    Is it OK to install and run Windows 10 in a 64GB USB stick?

    Hello,

    I have planned to buy a SSD but the USB sticks and SSDs are both made of flash memory. Why can't I install Windows 10 in a Sandisk 64GB USB stick and start using it for daily tasks? including playing games.!

    Please suggest.
