![]() ![]() I’d like to try get this working again before I write it off as just another failed Sandisk drive. This time, it’s been so long since I’ve purchaed it that I no longer have the receipt or packaging. I’ve had similar issues with previous Sandisk drives and microSDs, but the difference was I actually still had the receipt and could get a refund. I’ve also tried both USB 2.0 and 3.0 to no avail. Two separate machines with two separate operating systems. I have tested on a Windows 10 Laptop, and my Arch Linux desktop.

At first, fixing it was just a matter of Windows having mediocre storage management so I just hopped on linux and reformatted on gparted with no problems. However, I would format it as FAT32, have it working right after formatting, eject it properly, and then plug it in somewhere else just to have it not be recognized. My plan was to format it to FAT32 and use it for some temporary storage. I figured it was time to repurpose it since it’s just not cutting it for my usual uses, so I reformatted it today.
