Sandisk cruzer 16GB became read-only

this has happened to mine too. I was a network Engineer for 10 years this message is really to the management of Sandisc and not to the kind members of the public who help save them money by not employing Helpdesk staff.

SAYING IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FORMATTED FIRST IN NTFS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. These devices are used on DVDs etc so they must have  a fat file system if its sold in the uk in this condition it would contravene the sale of goods act. it should be formatted in the factory than.y

I think the RAM is faulty so when are you going to replace it? :manfrustrated:

And this is a message to the kind contributors who give up there time for these forums (i do yahoo and W7 Forums) thank you very much if you have a solution (other than putting it in the micorwave oven) could work ! let me know. Do you think the directors of Sandisc (i dont know/care the parent company) do the same I thought we agree.:smiley:
