    Is my SanDisk Cruzer destroyed?


    I plugged in my USB drive and I get notification USB device not recognized. In This PC it shows but it looks like this:

    When I right click to try and format it, nothing happens. I also tried renaming the drive letter, nothing. I tried many USB fix tools, such as, USB drive defender, Flobo, mUSB Fixer, USB Refresh, USBFix 2016, and most of them didn't even see the device in the list. I am running out of ideas. If it is of any help, it's SanDisk Cruzer 16GB.

    Edit: Just tried HP USB Disk Storage Tool. This is what it shows:

    And of course, it does not want to run format...

    Sorry to bring you the bad news, but usually when a disk is detected as having 0 capacity, it is dead. Just hope you didn't have anything important inside that you don't have it elsewhere.

    You were completely wrong. After reinstalling my system, I plugged in the drive and it works normally. I have no idea why, but now it works withoutany issues whatsoever... I assume there was a malware in the previous system, but I used Malwarebytes and Avast and none seemed to detect anything...
