Try a different USB device on each of the USB ports on your computer.
Hopefully, all your USB ports are working correctly.

Try a different USB port on your computer.
Hopefully, the SanDisk will be detected on one of the ports.

Try a USB port on a different computer.
If the SanDisk still is not detected, then spend $10 to buy a new 4GB flash-drive.

look on the back of your computer for a hi speed usb port, or just use any back usb port. some computers like mine dont have a "bus" to the mother board to the front usbs or because they are piggy backed to the front they dont pass through.

Remove your device from the device manager and reboot unit.
Restart and reload device drivers.
Make sure the driver are for xp pro

Hello aaron_s_robe,

Sounds like the flash drive may be faulty. You may try plugging it into another USB port on your computer, if that doesnt help try plugging it into another computers USB port.

If after trying the above doesnt work. Your drive is most likely bad.

go to my computer property then hardware then device manager then uninstall usb drivers and install again
if u find unknown device u must have to install proper flash drive driver

Some external USB drives require external power sources. Typically this is done either with an external power supply that connects to the drive or a second USB cable that connects to the drive and a second usb port on the pc. I have even seen one drive that comes with a Y cable. one end goes to the drive and the 2 usb plugs go to the pc.
