It appears my flash drive is no longer being recognized. After I plug it in I cannot see any of my files currently on the drive. I can see the entry in the "K" drive but its grayed out. Instead, it is pointing to a CD entry which is not correct.
Any assistance at this time would truly be appreciated.
Thanks and have a good day!

Sans Cruzer is the make of the flash drive and it is U3 compatible.
I just checked it on another PC running Win 7. Same results - not picking up the flash drive. It recognizes it as a CD drive instead of a flash drive.
Do you still want me to remove the launchpad app?
Thanks again for your support!

I am going to supply you with a couple of links to investigate and you can decide whether or not to remove launchpad. I have had to remove launchpad and reformat all of my SanDisk usb sticks. Be advised you may or may not save your data.

https://superuser.com/questions/204429/formating-usb-pen-that-emulates-a-cd-rom?rq=1 I use the HP tool, but it has to be run with admin rights and in compatibility mode with XP, this tool will reformat but will not save any data. Good luck.
Ok, I just discovered that another flash drive did work properly and appeared on the "E" drive. So it appears Sans flash drive is what the issue is. It still appears to be coming up with a CD reference when I plug in the drive. And yes, I did remove Launchpad. I would like to format the drive if possible.
Thanks again for your support!

You can download and run the HP USB Disk Format Tool or try Windows Disk Management or even Diskpart, if you want to use the Command Prompt.
