Typically no, you can usually just plug it into a Windows machine or a Mac and it should recognize the drive.

If not you could try looking in the disk management, (Windows) Sometimes what can happen is if you have multiple drives with corresponding drive letters in Windows, the Cruzer Micro may try to associate with a driver letter that's already being used.

If you see the Cruzer Micro in the Disk Management, you can try to right click and "Change the drive letter" Change it to a free drive letter and see if you can view the drive in explorer then.

My laptop is not able to detect sandisk cruzer blade (8gb) but my friend's laptop and my desktop detects it.

Your laptop may need drivers installed for your flash drive. Visit your USB drive manufacturer's website, find the "Support" page, and download the drivers for your specific drive. Be sure to know what version of your operating system you are running as it may be necessary to ensure you get compatible drivers. Install the drivers and try again.

I NEED A DRIVER FOR MY SANDISK USB, COZ I TRY ALL I SHOULD TO RECOGNIZED IT BUT AFTER ALL THE DISABLE, UNISTALL, RESTART, SHUTDOWN... STILL USN UNRECOGNIZED... WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Everything your Sandisk Cruzer USB driver needs to run should be on the usb drive itself, unless you have erased it, in which case you may have a problem.

The correct way to use a Sandisk Cruzer is to plug it in so that it lights up and then not touch anything on your computer until the orange sandisk symbol appears on your desktop. Right click this app and use it to browse your USB drive and eject it when you are done.

I hope that helps.
