What is the deal with Windows and SanDisk? Often the OS can’t open the drive. I boot up with a Linux live disk and the hardware works fine. Sometimes I have to remove the device in the Windows device manager and then plug it back in and it works for a while. I see on the internet that a lot of people have this problem.
What is the deal with Windows and SanDisk?I have one PC and one laptop running Win Vista - and another PC with Win 7. I've used a SanDisk flash drive on all three for years without a problem.
Have you tried reformatting the flash drive after after using it in a Linux environment?
BTW, a better solution for moving files rather than a flash drive is
FileZilla.
I didn't suggest it because it requires some technical knowledge/capability and probably couldn't be labeled the "easiest."
