SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 unusable as Windows support install all other key 3.0 USB works

Hello

I've explained the problem that is described in detail in the following thread, please read full for understand what is the problem.

http://www.wincert.NET/forum/topic/11021-SanDisk-Extreme-30-32GB-cant-go-on-at-install-destination/

In short:

The problem is in the stage of Windows where you select the partition to install it's unpossible click Next:

An error message appears that says: cannot find any partition or create an install for... but the hard drive is visible and its also possible to create and delete partitions, so the error message is bull * beep *.

My thougth is that sandisk stick is detected as disk sata hard and is internally by mistake folders as first hard disk, if I get out the stick at the stage where I select the partition, click Refresh, reconnect the key, other refreshment so I can install on the hard disk.

What is the problem with your extreme poles? Any other key usb 3.0 works well.

To pull the stick and so on is just a workaround dirty, I bougth the stick because of the speed!

@x23piracy,

I have searched high and low for more more information ob this odd behavior. But all i can find is either not reliable or solutions such as the one tried. No real reason as to why or what is the problem.

I suspect it has something do to with the way the partition tables are setup on the source media (in this case a san disk usb drive.) I would start there.

I had the same problem with a 2.0 8 gb drive. I found a fix on the net, Just create about 150 mb or more of unallocated space in the hdd or ssd you are trying to install windows

Resizing a partition would do the trick but do a full back of the drive just in case

Windows setup will run a refresh on the USB bus at the point that you are having problems with.

One way to get around it, is to pull the USB disk out, then put it back in, and go back one step of Windows setup, and try again. This works in most cases with this error.

The questions remains. Why is this happening with this particular brand/size of USB stick while it is not happening with others, and how to prevent this behavior?

Cheers and Regards

Stimpy, on 01 Mar 2013 - 18:46, said:

It's a good question. I also own the same drive, and have the same issue with it.

I have a feeling that the controller in the stick is slow at initializing, and is simply not fast enough for Windows Setup. If you watch the USB stick when Windows is setting up, you can see that it's being initialized, (just before setup asks what drive you want to install Windows on) as my mouse and keyboard also disconnect and reconnect at the same time.

amaltom61, on 02 Mar 2013 - 13:05, said:

Stimpy can be correct. One way i found to solve this problem is to create some unallocated space in the drive(150 mb or more).

bphlpt, on 04 Mar 2013 - 08:00, said:

Even though you weren't talking about that, I don't know why it wouldn't work. I've reformatted them before, Fat32 and NTFS.

OK, I went looking for references. Yes you can do it, but it seems it is not as easy to do as I thought, at least for everyone. Some folks say the standard built-in Windows 7 tools do it automatically, some say they don't. I still haven't tried it, since I don't have a USB stick available to partition at the moment. Some references say that that you need to flip the USB removable bit so that Windows will see the stick as a fixed drive before you can partition it. I also found two different tutorials or how to partition a USB stick here and here. So, yes, one way or another it can be done.

Cheers and Regards

Stimpy, on 04 Mar 2013 - 16:59, said:

Yeah, I have looked in to this a while ago. And found that you cannot partition this USB stick. It needs to be seen by the system as a fixed drive, but for whatever reason, Sandisk are not interested in helping their customers out with this, as it is a simple change to the drives firmware, like you described. There is a rumour going round that Sandisk are going to realease an updated firmware that will make this drive compatible with Windows To Go, and turn it into a fixed disk. I think that's unlikely, but you never know!

Have a look here, it seems Sandisk support simply does not care.

SanDisk Extreme USB Flash Drive and SMART failure

I just got 3 64 GB SanDisk Extreme USB Flash Drives and all three show SMART failures to reassign bad sectors. I struggle to believe that all three could be bad on first use. I use a program on a Mac (SoftRAID(4)) to certify all drives prior to use, including the SD cards and USB keys. I've never seen a failure so far.

Readers see the successful certification but present a SMART failure.

What is a disk problem or a SMART question or what?

Thank you

Lief

I agree that it is unlikely to have failed on the first use. Most likely, it is a problem with the SMART attributes. IIRC sandisk can't CHIP for this product so it formats without error, and data can be copied onto the discs with success, I wouldn't worry too much on this subject.

SanDisk Extreme USB key cannot be removed on Win8

Hi, I use a SanDisk Extreme 64 GB USB 3.0 drive and whenever I plugged my laptop (thinkpad t430 with Windows 8.1 Pro X 64), and tried to remove it after use, the BONE guard saying that the device cannot be removed, and there is no other programs is going there. But there is none, so how to solve this problem. I tried the USB on Windows7 Pro X 64 drive without a problem.

SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 Flash drive does not work in Win7 / 64 x

Well, it seems that after more than a week of messing around with this for, and finally give up and seek help, I could solve a few hours after doing so. After a lot of searching on Google, one of the things I had seen repeatedly was that the drive letters change can solve the problem. When I first had the problem, I did, and it did not fix the problem. However, somewhere between initially and after patching doing so in my original post, as well as several other elements are not, looks like my original problem has been resolved, and that the drive letters change was actually the origin of the residual problem with the same symptoms. The USB key now works in my USB 2.0 ports original or USB 3.0 adapter card TL; DR: changing the drive letter for the drive solved the problem, but only after a myriad of other changes. Thanks for the comments.

Windows update error 80070490 - other corrections code do not work.

I have 9 updates, that I need to install it and I get the error code 80070490.

I did the following to try to address everything with no luck...

(1) tried a system restore. Unfortunately this update has been tried and failed several times during the last few days, and each time it is automatically a restore point. So now I have no more old that won to restore restore points.

2.) have tried updating system as indicated here preparation tool:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80070490

Rebooted and still have the problem.

2.) attempt to perform a repair with my Vista Ultimate DVD installation as described here:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80070490

The problem is that I can't choose 'upgrade '. It is grayed out. The reason for this is that I can't upgrade to a version older than what I'm running now. My DVD is SP1 and I have since upgraded to SP2. I keep seeing this recommendation and it will not work for me.

(3.) I deleted the "Software Distribution" folder and reinstalled the WindowsUpdateAgent.

4.), I tried to use the Mr FixIt. It does not find that there is a problem with the windows update and then it tries to fix it. It runs corrections and says that it has attached to them. But when I close and re - run, problems are found and 'fixed' again. I have been through multiple cycles of Mr FixIt, restart, update, error, fixit, etc.. I also tried the fixit several times back to back running. Whenever he finds the problem, says it is fixed, but then when re-ran he finds the problem, said again and again this is corrected.

This all started after uninstalling several pieces of software by using the control panel. I emptied several unused programs and uninstalled AVG Antivirus. Not sure if this is related or not, since that was a few days after uninstalling before I saw for the first time this error.

I'm still having the problem.

If you could point me kindly to specific files that need to be extracted for this error I would really appreciate it.

I managed to solve this problem on my own. It turned out to be something with the above Japanese language pack. I uninstalled it and everything updated correctly. I thought I'd pass just in case someone else has the same problem.

When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1
then
- How to download official Windows 10 ISO files
- How to: upgrade previous versions of Windows using the file ISO for Windows 10
then
- Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
- Reboot several times, and then try again.
- Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
- If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
- Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
- If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
- If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
- If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
- If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
- If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

Windows 8 install - read the key to license OEM's BIOS - Dell XPS 8500

Hey there,

I tried to reinstall Windows 8 on my PC using the original key as my hard drive has stopped working. When you try to use the Dell installation media, Windows Setup asks for a product key do anything. I loaded default BIOS and tried to boot the disk of the Legacy BIOS mode as well. Any ideas?

Thank you

Hitik

No MSDM tab is no product key. If the system is supposed to have one there is a problem with the motherboard (I've seen a few times, but it is very rare).

You will need to call Technical Support Dell if the system is in warranty to have it replaced as the key is now considered to be material.

The system will work well otherwise. If you have no guarantee that you will have to buy a new Windows license or you can install Windows 10 Technical Preview and hold out to see if you are upgraded to Windwos 10 for free or for a discount.

Behavior of Lightroom Windows not like all other Mac applications

Please correct this:
When I click on the red button so that in Lightroom (at the top of the window on the left, Ref: the three buttons: red, yellow and green), she's leaving Lightroom.
This usually (always) right button closes the window open and can't stop app in all CS applications and all the other apps I've ever known on the Mac. This should be fixed in Lightroom are consistent with the behavior in other Macintosh applications.
Thank you

Why? Do not have a catalog open medium that Lightroom can really run. There is no concept of a document open in LR... it's either running with a catalog, or it is not.

Windows Easy Install in Fusion 3.1 - does not work with images of XPSP2, only XPSP3?

I am sure that that used to work before merge update itself, so I guess that's 3.1 who broke this - how can I install easy to work with images of XPSP2?

SanDisk extreme 64 GB usb 3.0 flash drive problem

Hi, my sandisk extreme USB drive is recognized as a hard disk, which appears in the section hard drives instead of the section of removable storage. I wonder how to solve this problem. Although it does not use normal with this drive, but it's just strange.

PS. I am using windows 7 ultimate x 64

SanDIsk was fixed drives and non-removable for awhile when he tried to support Windows 8 MS Go features. There is no fix or the possibility to design autour.

extreme usb 3.0 differ in how to connect

A few years ago, I bought SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 64 GB and it always occurs in the list of drives as a hard drive - see old_sd_64.jpg

A few days ago I bought the same type, but in the list of drives, it's RemovableDisk, as (I think) should (new_sd_64.jpg). Mentioned two drives looks like (old_new_sd_64.jpg), then, what is the difference and how to do the same thing (the same type of connection needed)?

I put here pictures: IMAGES

Years ago SanDisk's USB drives to support the WinToGo of Microsoft asking them to consider themselves fixed readers. They only make for a little while, then stopped. Now everything is removable.

And no there is no way to convert.

I have toshiba laptop that missed my virus protection and my laptop a week ago has changed for the windows Classic theme, all the other themes are greyed out so you cannot select them,

I have toshiba laptop missed my virus protection and my laptop a week ago has changed for the windows Classic theme, all other themes are greyed out so you cannot select them, my internet has also stoped working, I also can't do a system restore as it says it does not work any body can help me please?

My laptop will also not me do a backup.

Try these:

METHOD 1:

Back up all the files on a USB Flash drive or an external hard drive and re - install Windows on the hard disk of laptop.

-------------------------------------------------------------

METHOD 2:

Try partitioning your hard drive and put your files there.

1. Start menu search: 'drive '.

2. click on create and format hard disk partitions

3 right-click the Local Disk (C) and select shrink.

4. According to the size of the files, we could save, choose the size you want to reduce (1000 MB = 1 GB)

5. right click on the new "unallocated space" and create the Partition. (Name it BACKUP or something)

6. place all your important files on the new partition, and then, when you reinstall Windows, select the Local Disk (C)

DO NOT select the Partition you you saved on files.

Hope that these answers are useful.
