An error has occurred while initializing U3 Launchpad:

USB Flash Drives All USB Flash Drives

Hi,

I can not access my files on Cruzer Titanium 4GB. After entering a password I saw error message:

“An error has occurred while initializing U3 Launchpad: Drive is unavailable or unformatted. U3 Launchpad will close now. Please format the drive, disconnect the U3 device and try again.”

I can  not run WIN XP Error checking  tool for U3 drive because it is appears as CD Drive (E:)

Can anyone help me? Thank you.

I think the error you’re seeing is connected to the writable partition rather than the CD partition.  Be sure that Windows hasn’t assigned another drive letter to the drive letter the Cruzer normally gets. 

Do you see both USB partitions in Device Manager?
