I completely hosed a few SanDisk Cruzer Micro USB 2.0 2 GB Flash Drives at work when I deleted the original contents of the drives, installed the CruzerPro software that had shipped with some older Cruzer Professional drives, and then used the CruzerPro application to password protect the drives. This process rendered the drives completely unusable and unable to be formatted. The problems Clicking the drive letter in Windows Explorer returns the following error message: Please insert a disk into drive X. Attempting to format the drive returns the warning: There is no disk in drive X.
Insert a disk, and then try again. This is what the drives looked like once I’d thoroughly broken them. SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro USB Device Properties The drive properties show: Type: Removable Disk File system: Unknown Used space 0 bytes Free space 0 bytes Capacity 0 bytes The Volumes tab shows: Type: Removable Status: No Media Partition style: Not Applicable Capacity: 0 MB Unallocated space: 0 MB Reserved space: 0 MB Opening the Disk Management component of the Computer Management console shows that the drive is connected, but there is no unallocated space to partition or format. Other things about the disk look normal. It shows up in the Device Manager as working correctly, without any warnings, for example. I Googled around and found that many, many people were running into this problem where the drive starts reporting 0 bytes capacity and can not be formatted. Of the dozens of pages that I read, no one found a fix for the problem.
The most common solution offered was to return the drive to the manufacturer for replacement. Well, I wasn’t going to publicize my mistake and return the drives, I was going to repair them. Software that didn’t help Feel free to skip this part if you’re not interested in reading about the many dead-ends I explored. I knew of one nifty program that had helped me out a few times before, so I tried running the, but attempting to format the drive with this utility returned the following error message: There is no media in the specified device.
Someone suggested using this thing called “Apacer Repair v2.9.1.1” to reformat the drive, so I tried that, but the software only reported “USB Flash Disk not found!” when I ran it. Someone else recommended FreeCommander, but that failed to open the drive, too. I tried the free trial of the utility from but it reported the same information as Windows XP – that the device contained a disk with 0 bytes capacity. Maybe the full version could have done more, but I put that on the back burner. A number of people suggested attacking it with partitioning software, which I wasn’t looking forward to doing, but was willing to try.
Another last resort was going to be using the Windows XP Recovery Console’s fixboot and fixmbr commands, which got me out of a pinch when. What I should have tried to begin with Then I had an idea. I had a clean drive that had escaped my earlier bungling. I plugged it in, copied the contents to my desktop and tried to run the U3 LaunchPad software. Nothing happened, so I started looking more closely at the files. One of the files was called SanDiskFormatExtension.dll, which sounded promising. Now I just needed to figure out how to run the SanDisk installer to reformat the drive.
I tried all of the.exe’s and.msi’s that shipped with the drive, but nothing wanted to run from the folder on my desktop. Just as I was running out of options, I opened the autorun.inf file and found a very interesting entry: Update URL=The fix So, with nothing to lose, I pasted into Internet Explorer, thinking that it would at least get me some new files that might allow me to reformat the drive. I followed a few prompts and lo, the U3 Launchpad Installer software launched and restored the drive to its factory settings of 2 GB capacity formatted as FAT. It even replaced the original U3 files, making it truly good-as-new. I’m astonished that this information isn’t more widely available, particularly on the SanDisk support site and forums, as this 0 capacity problem seems to affect a good number of drives and there are many threads where this issue remains unresolved. Note that the page at requires you to install an ActiveX component, so you must use Internet Explorer. Otherwise, you can download the latest version of the from the Sandisk KB.
Of course, if you’re not using a SanDisk drive, it’s rather unlikely that this software will fix your drive, but maybe your device’s manufacturer has something similar. There are also a number of good ideas in the comments below, so definitely read through them for more options. If you’re trying to restore the drive’s contents or recover files, the all of the methods described on this page will format (erase) the drive and are not for you.

I finally could format my Kingston data traveler 2.0 after many searchings on the web a link took me to here, and after trying many, many, many, solutions, I finally did it. It was a 0 bytes usb ( I have many files in it, of course) and I tried the solution that ardami found, it didn’t work, then I tired the Deepak’s solution and it work partially, because it said that a mistake occurred while trying to format the usb, and asked me to send an inform to microsoft and I did it. Then I checked on MIPC and as always tried to open unit E: and never could, but this time it said “the unit E: doesn’t have a format, do you want to format?” and I said “yes of course” (well I wanted to recover my data but it wasn’t possible) so I finally can read my usb and of course now it’s empty. So I want to give a big handshake to ardamis and to Deepak, thanks a lot for your help. Siddharth Ok, so I just searched Google for about 5 hours trying to figure out how to fix the USBest USB2flashStorage USB problem.
What happened is the part of the memory that tells the computer how to access the drive and how big the drive is got corrupted. You need a program called “Super Stick Recovery Tool” made by kingmax. Don’t worry that your drive isn’t a kingmax drive, it will work anyway because it is just going to completely write over that little part of the drive that got corrupted.
Just go to “and download Super Stick Recovery Tool V1.0.2.19.rar you can open the rar file with winrar or 7-zip. Inside is Super Stick Recovery Tool V1.0.2.19.exe.
Run it as administrator with the drive plugged in and click “Update” about 5 minutes later– Problem solved!.Warning. This erases everything on the drive, I have no clue how to get data off of it before you do this, but at least you can have a working jump drive rather than a paper weight. Just so you know, I only tested this on a Verbatim 8 Gb drive that had the exact same problems you described. I tried lots of other tools and they didn’t work. Super Stick Recovery Tool Rocks! Haha Solution worked for me with iball pendrive and i suppose it will work for any pendrive.
GreyGrue Thanks for the help, but none of these worked for me. What did work was the following. (Win 7) (HP v125 4G Thumb drive) Open Command Prompt with admin rights.Type cmd in Start menu search box and hit Ctrl+ Shift+ Enter. Or.Go to Start menu All programs Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator. As I was on an Admin account already I just hit Start key + R.
Then type in cmd. First type DISKPART and hit enter. You will see a text block saying version number. Takes a second depending on number of drives.
Next type LIST DISK command and note down the Disk number of your USB flash drive. It will be listed as disk 0, disk 1, and so on. My thumb drive was Disk 4 with my other four drives before it. You can also see the total size as well as free space for each drive.
Here my Thumb drive was. bytes, 0 Bytes free. While the windows manager displayed a 0 bytes, 0 free. Replace the drive number “#” with the correct drive number for the following commands.
SELECT DISK # CLEAN CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SELECT PARTITION 1 ACTIVE (here you put the file type you wish to format in to. NTFS, FAT32, FAT16. FAT32 is standard.) FORMAT FS=NTFS (Format process will take a few seconds) ASSIGN EXIT Hope this helps someone else, I’m just glad to have my drive back. jojomannoh SOLVED if ur problem is – disk Management it shows it as as Removable Storage(+letter) with no media in it – properties shows that it has 0 free space and 0 used space – shows up in my computer but say insert disk ok i had the same pen drive, same 4 gb and same problem this is how i solved it 1. Plug in the pendrive. Restart the pc with a xp installation cd and make sure u reboot into the xp installation 2.
Follow the prompts till u get to which drive to install the xp 3.delete the existing partition on the pendrive(it will be listed) and create a new partition. This re-installs the mbr 4. Quit the installation and remove the pendrive before booting normally 5.
After booting plug in the drive and format it – i used HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool but i think windows formatting should work – i did a quick format first before a full with ntfs email me if u have any questions: AFTER 10 HOURS OF SEARCHING MY 4GB Kingston Datatraveler usb 2.0 device IS BBBBAAAAACCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!. Ashish Singh Hi Friends, For me the onlinerecovery from transcent worked with my Transcent 4 GB.Thanks!! Please have patience while download as its damm slow download happen in bits. 1)Please make use of this site “All the instruction are present how to repair your pen drive. 2) Download tool JetFlash Recovery Online from “If you guys have further question pls post ur question me herei wil reply you.Thanks!!. Maxtor I have a HDD maxtor 8GB IDE, its plugged with usb cable, when I try to format it show me a message “there is no media in the specified device”.
I have tried many programs, hiren boot (pack), hp usb., Hard disk low level format, diskpart, partition magic,.a lot of software and sofware posted here, firts time I tried to recovery my data but now I just want format my HDD, please any idea “USB To IDE/SATA device 0041 (0MB)” some software show me this but when I push to format the HDD the software don’t can. I have just recovered a generic 2GB usb pen/flash drive. I kept getting the error message “There is no disk in DriveH”.
I tried it on at least 10 different computers – without success. On one computer, the error was that the device was unrecognised, and all the other nine computers asked me to insert a disk. I tried putting it in gladwrap in the freezer overnight. I tried installing USB U3 software onto it, but it was not a Sandisk, so I got an error message. But I went into Control Panel (WinXP) Administrative Tools Computer Management Disk management and at least I could see the USB drive as Removable Media even though it said No Media. I then tried every damned button in there and eventually I found somewhere – I think it was under Computer Management Removable Storage – Libraries and I could see something in the Libraries folder.
It wouldn’t let me do much, but at least I could see what was on the USB flash drive. I tried to delete some of the crap, and it kept giving me error messages, but something seemed to be happening. I was still in Disk Management by the way. Anyway, then I got an error message that I should use chkdsk /f on the drive. I tried to do that but it wouldn’t let me, until I closed every open folder, scheduled a chkdsk /f, and restarted the computer leaving the USB attached. Eventually, it fired up and checked the C drive, then it fired up again and checked the F drive. It said that /stocktakes and Mark.thumbnail were unreadable.
Anyway, I let it do all its checks, and finally after about 15 minutes, I got the Windows XP desktop back and there was the Flashdrive with the name PKback# 001 (E:). Before it was just Removable Disk, now it had a proper name – albeit Generic. I went in, and saved what I could, deleted what it would let me delete, and then did a quick format, and then did a full format. Now it all seems to work fine again. I hope this helps some other bugger. AL-Amin @iq0099 Did you get any solution I have exact same drive like yours (Kingston 16gb data travelar 101) I have tried every single thing mentioned here except the one says using xp installation cd (I planned to do it now) Please let me know if you have already found a solution to that problem.
Previously Tried result: 1. The megaupload thing (usb drive unlocker) says “preformat not supports this IC”, 2.
Hp said “The specified device is being used. And in safemode it said “no media and many other steps which are too much to list here. @Brome what did you did to recover???. Pingback:.
Hi All, I bought brand new Transcend 32 Gb pen drive and tried to fromat it for first use. Not able to format in NTFS. Gives an error “Windows unable to format it”.

Also tried formating.
End up with “unable to format”. Also tried HP Drive Key Boot Utility with no luck.
At last it worked for me I tried all these steps on my Win 7 32 bit machine. Plugged in the pen drive to Win XP 32 bit machine. Tried to do default format( Not quick format and also no NTFS) under the Disk management. Format wen well.
Got the my drive back. Now it shows 32 GB. I am happpyyyyyyyyyy. Again to make sure it is an issue with OS, Plugged it back to my Win 7 machine. Tried to format again with NTFS, Quick Format. Got the same issue back, 0 bytes.
Tried to do default format, FAT 32 without quick format Format went well and got the drive back. I am not sure, is it a problem because of NTFS or the OS, but it works for me Hi friends, please try this if any of the above troubleshooting doesnt help. Hope this would be useful for you.
Feyy Tried pretty much every suggestion here and nothing worked 🙁 So i kept browsing around and found a guy on another forum who said to try a program called “Dr UFD” Link here: I downloaded it and tried it and it finally fixed my Corsair Flash Voyager 16GB – yay!! Lost everything i had on it but at least i have a working USB stick again. Here are a few tips for using the program because it seemingly did not work for me the first time i tried it so do not give up too easily. First if you are on windows 7, change the programs compatibility mode to Windows Vista SP2 and run the program as administrator. Then click on Update. It may be a bit slow and take a while but let the program finish. When it is finished it will ask you to remove your USB stick.
BE SURE TO REMOVE THE STICK AND INSERT IT INTO A DIFFERENT SLOT THAN BEFORE. Once it is plugged back in it should work like normal again! Hopefully this fix will work for other people like me who tried everything suggested here but failed. Good luck 🙂. JacobM Hey all, I have a similar problem with the “Removable Disk” title containing 0bytes.
I don’t actually know what kind of flashdrive I have. Which is kinda odd, yeah, I know. It was an 8gig though. I don’t know which program to use to fix it.
It botched after I switched it from FAT32 to NTFS to create a 4gig Virtual Hard Drive Partition on it using VirtualBox (by Oracle). It wasn’t working, so I canceled it. It wouldn’t let me delete the file I had and then locked up when I tried to format it. I pulled it out and now I have nothing. I’m at a loss of what to do. I absolutely have to have this for a class which starts next week (week 9/12/11). I’m also not-too-cool with downloading a ton of executables from everywhere.
AND Everyone who says they can fix the problem just by changing the drive letter: You had a slightly different issue than the majority of the people here. Pleasepleaseplease help me. Pentathlete Tried all of the (non XP) tips above with my 8gig pen drive – and none of them worked (on Vista and Windows 7) – the device is simply not being read despite being listed – but thanks for all the suggestions. Maybe the pen drive is fried but I only bought it yesterday and ran fine for a couple of hours.
Gonna try it on a Windows XP PC as it seems to be a common thread in some of the solutions. Word of warning – some of the links mentioned above are well dodgy, with viruses attached. But I guess you knew that already. benny “Tried pretty much every suggestion here and nothing worked 🙁 So i kept browsing around and found a guy on another forum who said to try a program called “Dr UFD” Link here: I downloaded it and tried it and it finally fixed my Corsair Flash Voyager 16GB – yay!!

Good luck” thx a lot Feyy, u are genious 🙂 problem solved. Nohemi Ultimate Solution THANK YOU!!!! I tried several programs Dr.UFDv1.0.2.31, HP Forma Tool. Changing the name of the unit in windows, Linux Mint didn’t recognize the USB nothing I tried twice your instruccions, first failed, second OK: USB A-Data C802 8GB VID 048B PID 1167 so I was trying with the row with values A-Data 8 GB Software DtMPToolV1.67B.11.0 And today I re – read your instructions ” try to locate the entry that have same name(e.g dt 101)” so I downloaded the MPTOOL1.67.9.9 ( says 4GB doesn’t matter) and I got back the USB memory!
Right now I’m using Recover My Files, it seems that some files can be restored I didn’t want to wait for that to say Thank You! So THANKSSS 🙂. Sammi 6-the site will show u a list, try to locate the entry that have same name(e.g dt 101) and same chip vendor – chip part number(located to the right of pid vid) returned from chip gui program if applicable and locate same size(not very important – the same chip program can repair different sizes in most cases) when u find ur flash entry note the name of the utilty to repair it in last column 7- click the menu left of iflash I don’t understand this My flash is sandisk 8gb cruizer.After searching for it i found it then what? The explanation is not clear.Please explain it in simple terms.Pleeaase!!.
MrWareWolf 1) Don’t download RANDOM tools off the internet to try to solve your problem! It is not safe, you could get a virus, and they probably won’t work anyway. 2) The KingMax tool, while somewhat universal CANNOT work with ANY flash drive. This is just NOT technically possible. You need a formatting tool that can PROPERLY address your flashdrive firmware. An 8gb drive could have 2 x 4gb chips, or 4 x 2gb chips, these may be technically different enough that a formatter for one will not work with another, etcetra.
3) The HP repair tool might work for their products, but if you have transcend, corsair, adata, or any other brand than HP it is VERY unlikely to work. 4) Go the manufacturer website for your flashdrive and download THEIR tool. Follow the instructions for use explicitly, and be SURE you run the file as administrator (right click the.exe they offer, and choose “run as” Pick the administrator account for your pc, give the admin password, and then proceed with the instructions they provide for using their tool properly.
I have an AData 8gb flash drive, and it was formatted partially (by me), making it useless. When I visited the Adata website, I was prompted to enter the serial number from the usb port, and then sent the tool to format my flashdrive back to factory settings. The serial number was odd, and I had to try it a few times to get the digits it wanted me to input (in my case the last 2 numbers were not used.strange, but whatever.). My first try went ok until the end, when it gave an error code. So I ran it again, this time with “run asadmin” and it worked fine.
Moral of the story: don’t try random stuff, and expect it to work, as this is very unlikely to solve your issue & get the support you need from the people who made the device, if you expect useful results. My flashdrive works fine again, and I hope you all learn from my advice here. If you don’t know your admin password, you should reload your operating system, and when it asks for the administrator password you want to use: make it a password you will remember, as there will come a time when you will need it in the future.
Khairul An interesting post, after googling for about half minutes, i found this. Well my SanDisk Cruzer 8Gb had a problems that i think not so differents with yours. I found this first time while i downloaded some media files from a torrent provider websites, while downloading my FD getting weird, their LED just pulsing and then undetected, then i do remove and reinsert.
Not too long after this, my FD can’t formatted yet unreadables, something interesting i founda while my FD can be accessed, there is a file called “i forgot” its a DOS shortcut files. Which i suspect as a virus while my AVG detected it as trojan. Then, i do use any such tools but didn’t works, hopefully your answer can help me a lot. from FAQ of Sandisk Note: This article is advanced troubleshooting for a rare condition wherein a flash drive stops getting recognized on a Windows computer, but is still working on other computers. Please reference the following articles first before attempting the instructions in this article.
Cruzer flash drive NOT detected by Windows PC Cruzer flash drive could not be detected due to drive letter conflict Computer cannot detect SDHC (4GB-32GB) memory card A corrupt registry entry could cause your SanDisk product to not be detected by the computer. Removing the registry keys created on installation of your SanDisk product will allow the computer to fully reinstall the device and may resolve the issue. STEP 1 – Backup the registry 1. Unplug the device from the USB port.
Windows XP: Go to Start Run, type in regedit and then click OK. Windows 7, 8 and Vista: Click the Start button, type regedit in the search box, and then press Enter. From the registry menu, choose File Export.
Name the file SNDK.reg and save it to your desktop. STEP 2 – Remove SanDisk info from the registry WARNING: DO NOT delete any registry key other than keys that include VID0781.
Deleting registry keys other than keys that include VID0781 MAY cause your computer to not boot properly. From the registry menu, click Edit and choose Find. Type in VID0781 and click Find Next. Once the search finishes, right-click the highlighted registry key and select delete. Press the F3 key to find the next registry key that includes VID0781.
Right-click the highlighted registry key and select delete. Repeat this process until the search returns with No results Found. NOTE: Under Windows 7, 8 and Vista, some registry keys may be protected and cannot be deleted. Simply skip over these keys if you receive a message that the key cannot be deleted. Once all registry keys containing VID0781 have been deleted, reboot your computer. Plug the device into the computer after it’s finished rebooting.
hatter Holy crap! Thanks so much!!! Your post pointed me in the right direction. I thought my USB drive was ruined (did some partition changes/ idk what happened). I had this same issue where device manager knew it was plugged in, but nothing was showing up under disk management. I’m using a ADATA S102 pro 32GB stick.
I just went to their website and they had a USB flash drive recovery program that was free to download. Entered in the serial number, installed and ran the program, and BAM! She’s back to normal! Here’s the link for other ADATA users. Bogdan I have the same problem with my micro USB 8GB from sycron. LINK to see how the USB looks like: Clicking the drive letter in Windows Explorer returns the following error message: Please insert a disk into drive H. Attempting to format the drive returns the warning: There is no disk in drive H.
Insert a disk, and then try again. When I click on “Volumes” to see the device properties I get this info: The volumes contained on the disk are listed below.
Disk: Disk 1 Type: Removable (H:) Status: No Media Partition Style: Master Boot Record (MBR) Capacity: 0 MB Unallocated space: 0 MB Reserved space: 0 MB I kindly ask to get an advice on how to recover my data (it’s extremely important to me). Cheers, Bogdan. $potsFan CAUSE: I installed an OS and forgot to remove both an SDHC (8GB) and a USB Cruze Micro (4GB). Both are SanDisk products. Both showed same unrecognized/format set of events described here.
RESULTS: I tried to use the recommended link. Bt the installer requires you to change Activation X under your security / custom tab. Make sure anything mentioning Activation X is enabled. And finally scroll down and select autonomous log on – so the “administrator rights” pop up doesnt come up.
I tried win XP to do this cause it seems to be the preferable system for this type of installer. It fixed the USB, but not the SDHC. I will take one out of two. However, the process was very bizarre. It asked me if I wanted to format a sector. Then it told me that I had to. So I selected yes.
Then it gave me a fail error. I then did it again and the fail error kept appearing. However, one time, it seemed to have formatted the USB portable for a second or so. Then I took it out of the usb and plugged it back in and sure enough, it worked. So to the originator of this thread: THANK YOU for your post and for this information.
Glad I do not need to throw the usb away. Japanese Buffalo USB You Sir, did the unbelievable an helped me save my USB stick. I am entirely grateful!
For the odd chance that someone else bought a BUFFALO USB stick in Japan and somehow unknowingly f.d it up, here is the link to the software that’ll save your day: after all the programs and regedit and other mumbo jumbo I tried, I am really happy to have found your post here. Since it was 2009 when you wrote it, you’ll probably never read my comment though. Well, thanks you anyways. Alex Hi there, I have experienced the same problems with my Sandisk Ultra Dual usb drive as you have described. I have tried out all the options possible and finally stumbled upon your page. I could not find the installer file for the usb I have on the sandisk support site and was wondering where can I find the same. Also there are files which I want to recover before I go ahead and try these steps.
Is there any way I can change the file system from UNKNOWN to either Fat 32 or NTFS to at least try and recover my data before going in for the format?. AP Good day all. I know there is no way to directly reply to a certain comment but I hope all of you will tyr to help me out. I have a Sandisk Cruzer Glide 16gig.
Kingston Datatraveler 102 Drivers For Mac 7
Idk how but the flash drive became corrupted abruptly and I tried putting it in my PC to see what the problem was. First off, the Logo for a Removal Disk was translucent and right away I knew I was in trouble. I tried all these methods of formatting and clearing the drive via command prompt. Eventually, I started to give up when I started to notice the pattern of the “no media” error. I searched this up on Google and found this feed.
The description here matched everything that I had seen wrong with the flash drive. I pasted the link into my Internet explorer but only to get page cannot be displayed(and no i do not have any problem with my internet).
I tried on different browsers too and it would just not go through. I have tried every way possible. I was wondering if someone could download the tool and upload it to a cloud service(gdrive, dropbox, etc.) where i can download it and use it as the flash dirve is very important. Thank you all for support.
