Cruzer Micro 8 GB

insert your 2 gb cruzer into a usb port click start all programs accessories open windows explorer my computer you should see your drive click to open it from there you select the files right click on the file/s right click copy navigate back to the drive right click select paste or hold the mouse cursor the file/s drag them to scan disc then drop them

or if you are downloading from the internet once the program/files starts to download an option will open and ask where you want to save it or run it also browse click on the browse to save it to your 2 gb cruzer

hope this helps

Looks like the flash drive is dead. Try plugging into a different USB port and also a different computer. IF all these didn't work, the drive is dead. Thanks.

Look in Device Manager and see if any USB ports need a driver update. Please click Comment to reply.

kindly go to control pannel and and see that removable media device is configured and also check the drivers for it in device manager to ensure that fault is not on sofware end ,if this does not show and green......then try changing the port you insert it into hopefully this will fix the issue else consult local hardware shop for recovery of the data in it
and also get it replace if under warranty

thanks and regards
kindly rate this solution

Hi there,

Try plugging it in to a different USB port on your computer. Make sure the connecter on the Cruzer is clean and there's no dust inside.

Also, try plugging it in on a different computer.

If none of these work,
I'm afraid it's a hardware problem and there's nothing that can be done about that.

Hope I helped!

I had the same exact problem on my 8G card. It worked fine in the camera, but when I plugged it into the card reader it flashed once and then the light went off. So, I put the card back in the camera and ran a USB cable from my camera (there was a port on the side of my Cannon Powershot that was smaller than a USB, but I don't know what to call it) to my computer. When I turned the camera power on, the computer was able to read the 8G card while it was inside the camera. I downloaded everything to my computer at that point. Hope this helps! I got the chord from my external hard drive and that fit from the camera to the computer.

cruzer micro 4GB, loaded with data. works perfectly in all systems except my xp. Problem didn't originate until after ghosting system to correct different problem. Now, error message states flashdrive not recognized. must then get behind pc, and gently work with it until i can hear the shift in the duo core processors and the orange light on the flashdrive comes on. Please help.

Reboot system

Do you have another USB port you can use? Is this connected to a USB hub?

Had same problem.

I wiggled back and forth the part that goes into the USB port and the drive was recognized and I could copy my files onto my hard drive.

I had this problem with a different make USB flash drive and used the same procedure to get the files back.

I think that some connection inside the flash drive works loose after a while.

I am not going to trust these drives for files storage, but only to transfer files.
