My U3 flash drive is now inaccessible and requires that I erase all data before I can use it again. Is there a way to regain access?

It is NOT a “leather” protective case. It is the cheapest of the cheap vinyl case with a white screened SanDisk logo (which will wear off in two weeks). The drive speed, however, is remarkable and I am very pleased with that aspect of it. The sliding mechanism went from fairly hard to operate with one hand (because of it’s stiffness) to practically needing a c-clamp to hold it closed. (I am not pleased at all with that.) I, too, use a Mac so the offending pre installed software had to go. You can not delete the U# partition on a Mac, however, and would need a Windows machine to do that for you. I would recommend it for the speed if you are able to deal with the disappointments I mentioned.

Hmm, I definitely didn’t have that issue at all. Once it slid out of the case it locked into position quite well. It is possible that a lot of wear and tear might have loosened up the mechanism. But if your drive is fairly new, I would suggest contacting SanDisk, they will probably replace the unit if it is defective!

But what you say happened to you shouldn’t be happening at all!!! Hopefully not a widespread issue.

slick package – totally useless, no – garbage is a better word. I can’t even plug it into the port without it sliding back into the case like a scared turtle. It just does not work I highly recommend looking for another drive!!!

I think i am going to go drop by fry’s and get this. i had a sony microvault, but after going through the wash a couple of times, it kinda died. it works sometimes, but just stops transfering before finishing th file. i need a new one soon. also do u know if this has a firewall too?

“The the partition on the flash drive with encrypted data was completely inaccessible without the correct password.”

It seems you have a grammatical error. I thought i would point it out.

Anyway looks like a pretty sweet device.
