Sandisk U3 Cruzer Problem

[Marty]

When I put it in any USB port, The drive won't boot. I checked "my Computer"
and the U3 icon is grayed out. If I double click it I get an error message
that It won't boot. I checked my disk drives, and it shows that the drive
is formatted OK. In Device Manager everything is OK. I reloaded the software
for U3 from Sandisk and still the same thing. Any Ideas?

I have a similar problem with my 1GB Sandisk Cruzer Micro drive. When I
insert the drive, instead of the U3 Launchpad starting, an explorer window
opens showing the contents of the drive. LaunchU3.exe is grayed out and
will not run. There is something wrong with the autoplay/autorun function
for that drive, but I can't seem to fix it. The USB drive does "autolaunch"
on other computers, though.

I need help, too. And it's good to know I'm not the only one.

I have the same problem and I think I have narrowed it down
to the XP version or localization, as it works fine on my 2 US XP Home
and 3 US XP Pro machines (all SP2),
but fail to load on my Norwegian XP Home machine.

Which version of XP are you using?

If you have the one that slips out with a button make sure that it is
extended all the way and is firmly planted in the USB connector. The
program makes the device look like a CDROM. HTH.

BTW there is a updated driver at the web site.

Try it on another computer.
If the same symptoms occur, it is likely that the memory stick is broken.

If it's that hot to the touch, then it's time to scrap it.

Leaving it connected to your USB port drawing
that much power as to heat up your Cruzer to a
point were it is "hot like a fire" may end up damaging
your computer's motherboard which is far more
expensive to replace than the memory stick.
