Check the serial number with sandisk..

if you can access it, try to format it into fat's file systerm and it denies the format but still accessible, try a different OS like Macintosh or Linux.

I doubt the one u have is a chinese made one (the original comes in a packet sealed whereas the chinese one comes in an openable packet with flap).I have found that most of the kingston pendrives in India are chinese made one of very low price. If u r using the original one, then might be ur pendrive is plugged in the usb drive with USB1.0 (low speed USB). install the latest usb2.0 driver n then try to open again.
