I have a sandisk cruzer blade 8 GB. It was working fine and then I ejected it and put it in another computer to transfer some files. I ejected it and then put it back in my computer and tried to access it. I have a shortcut on my desktop clicked on it and it wasn't recognized. I went into my computer and tried to open it, I saw the files but could not access them. I tried to format the usb but it couldn't do that.

I've tried changing the drive letter and it didn't work. I've tried pretty much everything I've found on the Sandisk website and many others.

Can anyone offer me some help? I'd greatly appreciate it!

My OCmputer>Tools menu>Folder Options tab>View menu, scroll down and untick "Use simple file sharing" then click Apply and OK your way out.

Do you see a Security tab now? Even in basic Properties, is Hidden ticked?

I am able to open the properties When I look at the volume it says that it has no media and not applicable and has 0 bytes. I have windows 7 32-bit operating system if that helps at all.

UPDATE: I was just able to format my drive and at first I saw that there was 7.45 GB free. I tried to save a file and it said it had no room. I went to the Properties tab, volume and it said that there were 0 bytes. Is there anyone who can recommend a fix?
