Is there a way to reinstall a USB Flash stick?

You see, I have this USB Flash stick, the Sandisk Cruzer Micro and for some reason, whenever I try to connect it, it ends up freezing my computer. The odd thing is that it worked fine a month ago. Any chance I can like uninstall it from the computer and then reinstall it or something like that?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sadly, I am using Vista.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I just tried doing that right now. It didn't work. It said something about an I/O problem or something.

Oh yeah, it does work on my old laptop running XP.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've had my laptop since September. It is running Vista Home Basic Edition. Here are my specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5250 @1.50 GHz
2046MB RAM
46GB free HD space

The Flash drive in question stopped working in January. My older 512MB Sandisk Cruzer Mini still works.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Odd now that i thought of it, I used to have a 1 gig flash like yours that would not work but it didn't freeze my computer. Its probably the OS system and how much free HD space you have concerning this issue. RAM is definately not an issue here "unless one of the sticks is bad."

If your wondering, I too have Vista but the version is Home Premium. How much hard drive space did you originally have when you bought the laptop?

Another question: Did your flash drive had a pre-installed program inside from the beginning?
Yeah. It had some program pre-installed in it.

I think I originally had around 100GB. I don't remember. I got a lot of music and Flash 8, RPGMaker 2003, Camtasia and some games like Battlefield 2 and BF2:Special Forces, GTA:SA, Doom and Doom2 (the folders with the source ports and wads for it are at a combined total of 800MB), and Mugen.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I got an error when I tried deleting that pre-installed file. So, basically, it said something about an early write error or something. I think I pretty much lost all my shit in the flash drive. Fuck...

Dammit, never mind. It still gives me an I/O error when it tries to load it up.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The flash drive itself might be the problem....see if any other flash drives you have works in this laptop? and it might help if future flash drives you buy is Vista certified or compatible with it.
I already said that my 512MB Sandisk Cruzer Mini works fine on this laptop.

FELIPE NO
