Solve : How to use flashdrive? Sandisk? |
|
Answer» No instructions of course, I plug it in, it lights up, gives me 4 choices under f disk, then what? how do I download a program & transfer it to a laptop?Use the view files/folders option or go into "My Computer" and OPEN the drive if you already haven't. how do I download a program & transfer it to a laptop? Instead of just clicking a downloader you right click it and choose "Save as". Navigate to your flash drive and save it there. Or download it to the desktop and drag/drop it onto the flash drive. It gives me 3 choices: Sandisk SECURE Access Run Club SanDisk exe Bootstop Module Run SanDisk Secure Access Win they all come up blank with no options.Sounds like that flash drive has some Sandisk-specific software or feature on it. You might post in http://forums.sandisk.com/Have you followed evilfantasy's suggestion ?? His instructions are quite CORRECT. Leave the 3 choices alone. Sandisk often includes utilities on the disk - sometimes on a separate partition. The utilities are not needed and you have the CHOICE to use them, ignore them, or even to DELETE the partition on which they exist and / or reformat the drive. I usually take the second choice and ignore them, since they take up very little space and do no harm.One of my first things to do with a flash drive is to format it (just in case). Be sure to use the Fat 32 option. Pre-installed software on flash drives is usually either useless or trialware. Either way it can usually be replaced by something better or free at http://portableapps.com or http://www.pendriveapps.comHe has yet to return...all good solid suggestions though. |
