SanDisk 8GB lights up but wont register

As the pen drive works fine on your laptop there is no problem with you pen drive the problem is with PC, Formating the PC might solve the problem

Go to Computer and look for Removable drive. Drag desired file there.

Once you plug the sandisk into your computer, a window should pop up asking you if you want to view the files on the disk, if it does, click on it. If not, just go to Start Menu -> My Computer -> (The Flash Drive). Move this window to the side so you can see the desktop aswell as the flashdrive folder. (You have have to 'demaximize' (Restore Down) the window so that you can see the desktop aswell. Then go to the start menu again and go to "My Pictures" or wherever your pictures are located. then, you can click and drag the pictures from the "My Pictures" folder into the FlashDrive's folder. Once all the images are copied into the flashdrive folder, you can unplug the flash drive and the images will be on it.
Hope this helped, Nathan Taylor

Hello,

It is not completely clear if you mean large PC games or if you mean small PC games.

By small PC games I mean games similar to the games that come with Windows and that appear in the 'All Programs -> Games' folder. Such as 'Free Cell', 'Hearts' or 'Solitaire'.

By large games I mean games like 'World of Warcraft' or 'Mortal Combat'.

Also, do you want to install the games on your Flashdrive or store them there?

If you want to store a large game on your flash drive. Place the CD/DVD with the game on it in your CD/DVD drive and insert your Flashdrive in a USB port.

Open 'WIndows Explorer' or 'My Computer'. Locate the CD/DVD drive that you inserted the game disk in (most likely your D: drive).

In the 'Edit' menu select 'Select All' and then in the 'Edit' menu select 'Copy'.

Then locate the Flashdrive in 'WIndows Explorer' or 'My Computer'. And in the 'Edit' menu select 'Paste'.

While this will copy the files from your game's CD/DVD disk to your Flashdrive you may or may not be able to install the game from your Flashdrive.

You can use this same procedure to copy small games to your Flashdrive from your Hard Drive.
You will need to know where on your hard drive they are located. And they may or may not run from your Flashdrive.

Also you may be able to install and run games from your Flashdrive, When you run the Setup program from you game disk you will usually be given the option to select a alternative location to install the game.
Select your Flashdrive at that point and it may install correctly to your Flashdrive. If it does you should be careful to always use the same USB port or the game won't run.

Hope that helps.

Well I had this problem twice
1: put flashdrive in washing machine
OR
2:go to installed hardwAre panel (something like that) and uninstall the hardware then reinstall ( by reattaching drive)

Honestly I don't recommend option 1 ... But that works too

Hi,

If your having a problem transferring the file on your flashdrive you can reformat the drive so that it you can use all the available space on it. Just Right Click on the flashdrive the select Format Drive.

Thanks for using Fixya.

i would wait till it stops flashing always. if the light is on, there is power going out to the drive that is being used. this alone can be damaging to the drive if removed then.

may be the pen drive is infected with virus Just backup the existing file of flash drive to another drive and format the flash drive and try to copy the files.
Have a nice day and do not forget to rate please...!

Picture is too large or Flashdrive is defective. Check it on another computer or take it to the store and have them check it.
