Could someone help me out here?

[Le 3eme oeil]

I have this sandisk sddr-95 which almost always worked fine for me, but it had recently stopped working. When i plug it in the light on it becomes green but nothing pops up on the screen. I go into my computer then find it as drive f:. When i put in a disk the light starts to flicker like it is loading but then nothing happens, the pictures dont pop up as usual. I go into drive f: to see if i can manually open the folders but it simply says the disk has not been formatted. This is in fact a new disk, but it does that for all my disks now, new or old. I dont want to format the disk because that will erase all the pictures i already have.

If i put in one of the old disks and format it, will that then allow all the other disks to work too?

Thanks for your help.

I tried that and it was the same.

Have you tried a different computer or one with a different OS?
If you can, get your info off then reformat, then put the data back on it.
Thats what I do.

Will that correct the problem for only that disk, because i have some old ones i dont really need the pictures for.

Sounds like your Sddr-95 is dead.
Have you tried using it in another computer?
What operating system are you using?
I take it your not using win98, otherwise I would suggest installing the 98 drivers again.

It might.
Either way if it works, you will get your data.

UBUNTU!!!!!!!!!!!!
It may work, their usb drivers are horribly limited.
Debian has better.
Just sayin'.

wut? you know Ubuntu is based on Debian... and a lot of the driver stuff is based around the Linux Kernel, which is what makes a linux distro.. a linux distro
