My cruzer mini 256MB drive has stopped working; here's how it happened--
I was transferring files from it to one of my computers when I got a "access denied" for moving a folder. Then when I tried again, I got the message that the drive wasn't formatted, but I could still access other files and folders. At first I thought I could solve it by closing the folders and unplugging the drive, but after I did that, I got an blue screen saying that it can't find the drive. I pressed Esc, and after that, I plugged it back in and now I can't access it at all. I've tried accessing it on 4 different computers, but to no avail. I've noticed that I could possibly format it, but would it make it completely unusable? (that and the fact that I would lose the encryption program that came with it...) Any help, please?
Flash drive not working
If you format it, you'll lose all data on it, but probably regain the ability to use it. Give it a shot, if you ask me.
Get a real flash drive.
