Shopper Answers
- How do I recover missing files or accidentally deleted files? What if my camera showed an error and all my pictures are missing? Also, can I recover my data if my memory card or flash drive stopped working? Can I 'undelete' files?
NOTICE: SanDisk warranty does NOT provide reimbursement for data recovery services. This is specifically stated in our warranty. The SanDisk warranty covers the product itself, but does NOT cover any damages due to data loss. It is recommended to make regular backups of all your data and pictures.
For functional memory cards and flash drives
If your memory card or flash drive is still functional, you can try using a data recovery program. There is a high probability that your data can be recovered after you get an error while using the card, accidentally format it or delete files.SanDisk recommends using Rescue Pro and Rescue Pro Deluxe. These programs are very reasonably priced.
You can download a demo version of Rescue Pro and Rescue Pro Deluxe. These demo versions will show you what files can be recovered and provide a preview of the files for some common picture file types. The demo versions will require purchase of a license key to enable the feature to save the files. This is an excellent way to see if the program will work before you purchase.
After you recover your data, you can reformat your memory card or flash drive and use it again.
For Non-functional memory cards and flash drives
If your memory card or flash drive is no longer functional or cannot be accessed by your computer, then you will need to send it to a data recovery company. They will attempt to recover data on your memory card or flash drive. SanDisk recommends LC Technologies for this. LC Technologies specializes in SanDisk products.
Please refer to LC Technology Data Recovery for service description and current pricing.- My USB flash drive is NOT detected when plugged in to my PC. What do I do?
SOLUTION 1 - Verify if minimum operating system requirements are met.
SOLUTION 2 - Try other USB ports if the light on the flash drive does NOT illuminate when plugged in.
If the USB is not receiving ample amount of power from the USB port, it will not function properly.
If the LED does NOT illuminate on multiple computers, contact SanDisk Support to check warranty status.
SOLUTION 3 - Check status of the USB under Device Manager.
STEP 1 - Connect the USB to the PC
If you receive a "USB Device Not Recognized" error on the computer, the flash drive is most likely failed. Additional troubleshooting is unlikely to correct the problem.
STEP 2 - Check under Device Manager
NOTE: An administrator right to your computer may be required to perform below steps.
1. Open the Computer Management Console
2. Click Device Manager on the left pane.
NOTE: The USB might show up under several places under Device Manager such as:
1. Disk Drives
2. DVD/CD-ROM drives
3. Universal Serial Bus controls as USB Mass Storage.
If there is a yellow exclamation point (!) or question mark (?) beside the device, try to refresh the drivers.
STEP 3 - Refresh the drivers
1. Right-click on the entry with the error mark, select Uninstall.
2. On the top menu, click Action then select Scan for hardware changes.
STEP 4 - Verify if the flash drive is detected
1. Double-click My Computer.
2. Look for the USB under devices with removable storage.
SOLUTION 4 - There might be a conflict in drive letters, see Resolving drive letter conflict.- Why can't my USB flash drive be detected by my Mac computer?
- Mac OS 9.0 and above does NOT require special drivers to detect USB flash drives.
The USB flash drives will NOT be detected if the USB Mass Storage driver was modified or deleted. Remove all USB devices from the system, download the USB driver from Apple's website, then install it.
Also try to plug the USB flash drive directly into the Mac computer, instead of plugging it to USB port on the keyboard. - How do I format my USB Drive with third party tools?
There are several free PC applications available online for formatting USB drives such as HP USB Disk Format Tool , 2Tware Fat32Format , and miniAide Fat32 Formatter.
These tools will allow you to format 64GB flash drives into the Fat32 file system for use in enviroments that are not compatible with the exFat file system.
Note: Formatting deletes all data on the drive, be sure to back up your data before formatting.
- How do I delete files on my Cruzer USB flash drive using a Mac?

PC:
This is due to FAT32 limitation. Files larger than 4GB can NOT be stored on a FAT32 volume. Formatting the flash drive as exFAT or NTFS will resolve this issue.
WARNING: Backup your data. Formatting will delete all the data in your device.
SOLUTION 1 - Format in exFAT
exFAT file system that allows a single file larger than 4GB to be stored on the device. This file system is also compatible with Mac.Windows 7 and Mac OS 10.6.6 and higher are compatible with exFAT out of the box. Older operating systems may need a patch installed for exFAT compatibility.
NOTE: exFAT file system is NOT compatible with some host devices such as TV, game systems, older operating systems, car stereos etc.

3. In the File System list, click exFAT.
4. Click Start.
5. Click OK to start formatting.
SOLUTION 2 - Format in NTFS

Mac:WARNING: Formatting will erase all data on the device. Back up all your data before proceeding.
NOTE: When using a memory card, it is recommended to reformat the card in the camera instead of formatting it through your computer.

1. Double-click on Macintosh HD - or in the Finder menu click File > New Finder Window
2. Click the Applications folder - if using a Finder Window Applications will be in the left side menu.
