All SanDisk Flash Drives are not working on my laptop. But other brands work perfectly.

Alright this might be weird. I have a Cruzer Blade 32 GB. Everything was fine until 2 days ago, my laptop can’t recognize my 32 GB Cruzer Blade. When I check the Device Manager, it is categorized under Other Devices with the name CRW-2.0. I tried the method of deleting the INFCACHE-1 thing. It still didn’t work. The weird part is I tried using other brand of flash drive such as K!ng$ton, it worked perfectly. So my guess is that there is something wrong with the SanDisk drivers that is on my laptop. My laptop is an ASUS G-73SW btw. Any help to resolve this problem is much appreciated. Thanks.

There are no SanDisk-specific drivers on your laptop. If other brand drives work and SanDisk doesn’t, return it as defective. Until SanDisk sees return figures that exceed their projected percentage, they won’t see it as a problem and won’t do anything about it.

Hey Tapeworm. I did forgot to mention that I tried my friends SanDisk Flash Drive which is working perfectly with other Windows 7 computers. But it didn’t work on my laptop. And today I tested my thumb drive that is not working on my personal laptop is actually working perfectly on other Windows 7 computers. So i guess the fault is my laptop now. Is there any solutions that you can provide me with?

I suspect either a bug in an antivirus update or a conflict with some other USB device using the same drive letter.
